(1) Naqi Logix Inc. (the "Company") is offering up to 5,747,126 Voting Common Shares ("Common Shares"), plus up to 1,149,425 additional Common Shares to be issued as bonus shares (the "Bonus Shares") to investors based upon their eligibility in meeting certain bonus requirements as detailed in "Perks and Bonus Shares" below. An investor receiving the Bonus Shares will effectively receive a discount on our share price. Investors are eligible to receive up to 20% additional Common Shares as Bonus Shares. See "Plan of Distribution" for further details.
(2) The Company has DealMaker Securities, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC ("DealMaker Securities" or "Broker"), as a broker-dealer of record, to perform broker-dealer administrative and compliance related functions in connection with this Offering. DealMaker Securities and its affiliates will receive: (i) a one-time advance of $45,000, and (ii) a monthly payment of $13,000 for up to $39,000 for accountable expenses. Once the Commission has qualified the Offering Statement to include DealMaker Securities, it will receive a cash commission equal to four and one half percent (4.5%) of the amount raised in the Offering based on its sales. There are also monthly account management fees of $13,000 not to exceed $117,000, and a budgeted fee of $277,875 for media management and supplementary services on a case-by-case basis, but not to exceed the total. See "Plan of Distribution" for more details. In the case of a fully subscribed offering in which all investments are made through DealMaker Securities, the maximum amount the Company would pay DealMaker Securities is $1,177,500 in commissions, expenses, and fees. DealMaker Securities will not have any compensation tied to the sale or issuance of Bonus Shares. To the extent that the Company's officers and directors make any communications in connection with the Offering they intend to conduct such efforts in accordance with an exemption from registration contained in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and, therefore, none of them is required to register as a broker-dealer.
(3) Does not include effective discount that would result from the issuance of Bonus Shares. See "Plan of Distribution" for further details.
(4) Investors will be required to pay the Company a processing fee equal to 3.5% of the investment amount at the time of the investor's subscription (excluding Bonus Shares) for shares sold by DealMaker Securities ("Transaction Fee"). See "Plan of Distribution" for additional discussion of this processing fee. Assuming the offering is fully subscribed (excluding Bonus Shares), investors would pay DealMaker Securities total processing fees of $525,000. DealMaker Securities will receive commissions on the Investor Fee. This amount is included in the Total Maximum offering amount since it counts towards the rolling 12-month maximum Offering amount that the Company is permitted to raise under Regulation A. The "Proceeds to Company before expenses" includes payment of the cash commission as well as the processing fee.
(5) We may issue up to 1,149,425 Common Shares as Bonus Shares as part of the Offering, assuming that 100% of investors achieve the highest level of Bonus Shares available and all Bonus Shares are issued. For more information on Bonus Shares, see the "Plan of Distribution" below. Assuming this Offering is fully subscribed, and the maximum number of Bonus Shares are issued, the effective purchase price per share would be $2.175 per share.
The Company expects that the amount of expenses of the Offering that it will pay will be approximately $750,000 not including certain fees due to DealMaker Securities.
The Offering will terminate at the earlier of: (i) the date at which the maximum offering amount has been sold (ii) the date at which the offering is earlier terminated by the Company in its sole discretion or (iii) the date that is three years from the date on which this offering is qualified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). At least every 12 months after this offering has been qualified by the Commission, the Company will file a post-qualification amendment to include the Company's recent financial statements. The Offering covers an amount of securities that we reasonably expect to offer and sell within two years, although the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part may be used for up to three years.
The minimum investment amount for an investor is $522 plus a 3.5% transaction fee, however, we reserve the right to waive this minimum investment amount in the sole discretion of our management.
The Company will utilize a third-party escrow account for this offering, and all funds tendered by investors will be held in an escrow account until investor subscriptions are accepted by the Company and reviewed by DealMaker Securities.. The Offering is being conducted on a best-efforts basis without any minimum target and there is no minimum number of shares that needs to be sold in order for funds to be released to the Company and for this Offering to close, which may mean that the Company does not receive sufficient funds to cover the cost of this Offering. We will hold closings upon the receipt of investors' subscriptions, review by DealMaker Securities, and acceptance of such subscriptions by the Company. We reserve the right, subject to applicable securities laws, to begin applying "dollar one" of the proceeds from the Offering towards our business strategy, including, without limitation, research and development expenses, offering expenses, working capital and general corporate purposes, and other uses, as more specifically set forth in the "Use of Proceeds to Company" section of this Offering Circular. If, on the initial closing date, we have sold less than the Maximum Offering, then we may hold one or more additional closings for additional sales, until the earlier of: (i) the sale of the Maximum Offering, or (ii) the Termination Date. We expect to commence the sale of the Common Shares on the date on which the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular (the "Offering Circular") is a part (the "Offering Statement") is qualified by the SEC.
THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION DOES NOT PASS UPON THE MERITS OF OR GIVE ITS APPROVAL TO ANY SECURITIES OFFERED, INCLUDING THE COMMON SHARES, OR THE TERMS OF THIS OFFERING, NOR DOES IT PASS UPON THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OFFERING CIRCULAR OR OTHER SOLICITATION MATERIALS. THE COMMON SHARES ARE OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ("SEC"); HOWEVER, THE SEC HAS NOT MADE AN INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION THAT THE COMMON SHARES OFFERED ARE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.
NON-ACCREDITED INVESTOR LIMITATIONS
GENERALLY, NO SALE MAY BE MADE TO YOU IN THIS OFFERING IF THE AGGREGATE PURCHASE PRICE YOU PAY IS MORE THAN TEN PERCENT (10%) OF THE GREATER OF YOUR ANNUAL INCOME OR YOUR NET WORTH. DIFFERENT RULES APPLY TO ACCREDITED INVESTORS AND NON-NATURAL PERSONS. BEFORE MAKING ANY REPRESENTATION THAT YOUR INVESTMENT DOES NOT EXCEED APPLICABLE THRESHOLDS, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO REVIEW RULE 251(d)(2)(i)(C) OF REGULATION A PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ON INVESTING, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO REFER TO WWW.INVESTOR.GOV.
NOTICE TO FOREIGN INVESTORS
IF THE INVESTOR LIVES OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES, IT IS THE INVESTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FULLY OBSERVE THE LAWS OF ANY RELEVANT TERRITORY OR JURISDICTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PURCHASE OF THE SECURITIES, INCLUDING OBTAINING REQUIRED GOVERNMENTAL OR OTHER CONSENTS OR OBSERVING ANY OTHER REQUIRED LEGAL OR OTHER FORMALITIES. THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DENY THE PURCHASE OF THE SECURITIES BY ANY FOREIGN INVESTOR.
Investing in our Common Shares involves a high degree of risk. These are speculative securities. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See "Risk Factors" starting on page 12 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in our securities.
No application is currently being prepared for the Common Shares to trade on any public market. As a result, the Common Shares sold in this Offering may not be listed on a securities exchange or quoted on an alternative trading system for an extended period of time, if at all. If the Common Shares are not listed on a securities exchange or quoted on an alternative trading system, it may be difficult to sell or trade in the Common Shares. There can be no assurance that a liquid market for the Common Shares will develop or, if it does develop, that it will continue. If a market does develop, it may not be liquid. Therefore, investors may not be able to sell the Common Shares easily or at prices that will provide them with yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market. Illiquidity may have a severely adverse effect on the market value of the Common Shares and investors wishing to sell the Common Shares might therefore suffer losses.
The Company is following the "Offering Circular" format of disclosure under Regulation A+ pursuant to the general instructions of Part II(a)(1)(i) of Form 1-A.
We expect to commence the sale of the Common Shares on the date on which the SEC qualifies the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part.
THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR CONTAINS ALL OF THE REPRESENTATIONS BY US CONCERNING THIS OFFERING, AND NO PERSON SHALL MAKE DIFFERENT OR BROADER STATEMENTS THAN THOSE CONTAINED HEREIN. INVESTORS ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO RELY UPON ANY INFORMATION NOT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR.

Our Business
The Company was established on August 4, 2020, under the jurisdiction of the Province of British Columbia in Canada and has its corporate office at 100 Park Royal, Suite 200, West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7T 1A2. The Company's headquarters are in the Vancouver, British Columbia area and, as of the date of this filing, the Company conducts its operations through its Canadian parent entity and two subsidiaries, including its U.S. subsidiary incorporated in the State of Delaware in April 2025 and its subsidiary in France (Wiser Assets & Liabilities SAS, acquired on February 2, 2026).
Subsequent to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement dated December 30, 2025 to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Wisear SAS not already held by the Company, and the acquisition closed on February 2, 2026. Wisear is a neurotechnology company based in France focused on biosignal-based gesture recognition for wearable devices. The Company believes the Wisear acquisition expands its intellectual property portfolio and strengthens its capabilities in biosignal acquisition, signal processing, and machine learning technologies relevant to wearable neural interface systems.
Naqi Logix Inc. is a neurotechnology company focused on developing a non-invasive human-machine interface platform designed to enable users to control digital systems without the use of their hands, voice, or traditional graphical interfaces. The Company has developed a hardware-enabled software platform intended to interpret user intent through biosignals captured in and around the ear and translate those signals into digital commands that can interact with computers, mobile devices, robotics, and connected environments.
The platform currently consists of three primary components: (i) the Naqi Neural Earbud, a wearable sensing device embodied in an earbud form factor; (ii) the Naqi Hub, the software platform that processes biosignals and motion data and executes commands; and (iii) the Company's patented Invisible User Interface ("IUI"), a command architecture designed to allow navigation and control without visual interaction. The Naqi Neural Earbud integrates multiple sensor technologies designed to capture biosignals and motion data, including electromyographic (EMG), electroencephalographic (EEG), and electrocardiographic (ECG) signals, along with inertial measurement units (IMUs) capable of detecting head movement and orientation. These signals may be generated by natural facial micro-gestures such as jaw clenches, eyebrow movements, eye blinks, and other subtle muscle activations. Unlike invasive brain-computer interface technologies that require surgical implantation, the Company's solution is external to the body and can be worn and removed like a conventional earbud.
The Company believes its wearable neural interfaces could represent a potential new input modality for interacting with digital systems by enabling users to issue commands silently and without physical contact with devices. The Company has demonstrated the ability of its platform to control a range of digital systems, including personal computers, mobile devices, smart home systems, and connected hardware such as mobility devices and robotic systems, and believes the platform may support applications across accessibility technologies, consumer electronics, computing interfaces, gaming platforms, smart environments, and emerging human-machine interface systems.
The Company's current wearable neural interface platform, as presently contemplated for consumer electronic applications, may not require regulatory clearance. In certain circumstances where the device might be used for a medical, assistive, or other regulated application, certain regulatory approvals may be required depending on intended use and jurisdiction. The Company's technologies and services offerings are described in greater detail in "Description of Business" below together with a detailed description of its entire business.
Prior to the Wisear Acquisition and as of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, our direct personnel consisted of three full-time employees, and eight part-time consultants. As of the date of Offering Circular, the Company has completed the Wisear Acquisition and now has ten full-time employees and nine consultants and four independent contractors as part of our research and development team. The Company's personnel operate virtually from remote locations. The principal place of business and mailing address is Naqi Logix Inc., 100 Park Royal, Suite 200, West Vancouver, BC V7T 1A2, Canada and the telephone number is 1-888-627-4564. The website address is www.naqilogix.com. The information contained therein or accessible thereby shall not be deemed to be incorporated into this Offering Circular.
Our Corporate Strategy
Management continues to pursue a corporate strategy that is focused on engaging with organizations that may contribute to product development, platform validation, and potential integration of the Company's technology into broader digital and device ecosystems and in building and developing our business as a provider of end-to-end solutions to support the development, validation and commercialization of its neural interface platform. Most recently, in furtherance of this strategy, the Company completed the acquisition of Wisear Assets & Liabilities SAS on February 2, 2026, which expanded the Company's intellectual property portfolio and strengthened its capabilities in biosignal acquisition, signal processing, and machine learning. In connection with such strategy and to facilitate our long-term growth, we continue to evaluate various strategic opportunities, including partnerships with original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), and providers of complementary technologies and intellectual property ("IP") to further our goals by adding technology, differentiation, customers and/or revenue. We are primarily looking for partnerships that have business value and operational synergies, while remaining opportunistic with respect to other strategic and/or attractive transactions. We believe these complementary technologies will add value to the Company and allow us to provide a comprehensive integrated ecosystem to our customers. In addition, we may seek to expand our capabilities around robotics, accessibility technology, consumer electronics, and emerging human-machine interface systems. Candidates with proven technologies and products that complement our overall strategy may come from anywhere in the world, as long as there are strategic and financial reasons to establish the partnership. We are also exploring opportunities that will supplement our revenue growth, which may include value-enhancing acquisitions that provide business value and operational synergies, as well as other opportunistic or strategic transactions that we believe may increase overall shareholder value. These may include, but are not limited to, alternative investment opportunities, such as minority investments, acquisitions or joint ventures. If we make any acquisitions in the future, we expect that we may pay for such acquisitions using our equity securities and/or cash and debt financings in combinations appropriate for each acquisition.
Description of Property
We do not own any facilities and do not expect to own any facilities in the immediate future.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our business and our ability to execute our business strategy are subject to a number of risks, which are more fully described in the section titled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 12. These risks include business and industry risks, including that:
• We have a history of losses and can provide no assurance of our future operating results;
• The Company was recently formed and has a limited operating history and no revenues;
• We may not have adequate capital to fund our business and may need substantial additional funding to continue operations; we may not be able to raise capital when needed, if at all, which would force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or commercialization efforts and could cause our business to fail;
• We have limited existing brand identity and customer loyalty; if we fail to attract customers to use our service offerings, our business could suffer;
• We depend on third-party suppliers and manufacturers, and supply chain disruptions, engineering challenges or manufacturing delays could delay commercialization of the Naqi Earbud and Naqi Hub and Invisible User Interface;
• Our business currently depends on the successful development, validation and commercialization of a limited number of products and technologies, specifically the Naqi Earbuds Framework;
• We will need to increase the size of our organization, and we may be unable to manage rapid growth effectively;
• We are not subject to Sarbanes-Oxley and lack the internal controls over financial reporting required of public companies;
• Our Company does not currently have a Chief Financial Officer, and the absences of a dedicated financial officer may adversely affect our financial reporting and internal controls;
• The smart earbud, gestural input, brain-computer interface and non-tactile input industries are competitive, and we may be unable to compete with companies with greater financial or technical resources than us, which could negatively affect our operations;
• New products and services may subject us to additional risks, and a failure to successfully manage these risks may have a material adverse effect on our business;
• If we are unable to develop a partner ecosystem, sales, marketing and distribution channels or to enter into agreements with third parties to perform these functions on acceptable terms, we may be unable to generate revenue;
• We may face significant competition in Canada and in other markets, including the United States, Europe and Asia where we may decide to operate in the future;
• Our revenue could fluctuate from period to period, which could have an adverse material impact on our business;
• The integration of Wisear and its operations, personnel and intellectual property involves significant risks that could adversely affect our business;
• We are subject to pending litigation that, if resolved adversely, could result in monetary damages and divert management attention;
• If we are unable to effectively protect our intellectual property and trade secrets, it may impair our ability to compete;
• Customer complaints regarding our products and services could hurt our business;
• Computer, website and/or information system breakdowns, as well as cyber security attacks, could affect our business;
• We will depend on third-party providers for a reliable Internet infrastructure as well as other aspects of our technology and applications and the failure of these third parties, or the Internet in general, for any reason would significantly impair our ability to conduct our business;
• We may be involved in legal and regulatory proceedings;
• The liability of our directors and officers and others is limited under certain circumstances;
• Our executive officers, directors and insider shareholders beneficially own or control a substantial portion of the outstanding Common Shares;
• Our success is dependent on part-time executive;
• We may have difficulty retaining and acquiring personnel;
• Our directors and officers may have conflicts of interest;
• Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS accounting principles;
• Public health epidemics or outbreaks could adversely impact our business;
Risks Related to Regulations
• In certain circumstances, we will be required to seek regulatory approval for our technology if it is intended to be used for medical applications, such as wheelchair control. There is no guarantee we will be successful in procuring all necessary approvals; and
• Our business is and may become subject to complex and evolving U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy, data use and data protection, content, competition, safety and consumer protection, e-commerce, and other matters. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to our products and business practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations, or declines in user growth or engagement, or otherwise harm our business.
Risks Related to This Offering and the Common Shares
• Our outstanding convertible debentures may result in dilution to investors in this Offering upon conversion or exercise of the accompanying warrants;
• We may terminate this Offering at any time during the Offering Period and do not have a minimum capitalization;
• The Common Shares are being offered on a "best efforts" basis and we may not raise sufficient capital to satisfy our working capital needs;
• It is uncertain when the Common Shares will be listed on an exchange for trading, if ever;
• If the Common Shares become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade the Common Shares;
• We have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds of this Offering and may not use these proceeds effectively, which could affect our results of operations and cause the price of our Common Shares to decline;
• We do not intend to pay dividends on the Common Shares and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of the Common Shares;
• Terms of subsequent financings, if any, may adversely impact investors' investments;
• We determined the offering price for the Common Shares being sold in this Offering; and
• If an investor purchases Common Shares in this Offering, the investor will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of the Common Shares.
Regulation A+
We are offering the Common Shares pursuant to rules of the SEC mandated under the JOBS Act. These offering rules are often referred to as "Regulation A+." We are relying upon "Tier 2" of Regulation A+, which allows us to offer securities of up to $75 million in a 12-month period.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Common Shares involves a high degree of risk.

If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer.

See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements" above for a discussion of forward-looking statements and the significance of such statements in the context of this Offering Circular.
Risks Related to our Business and Industry
We have a history of losses and can provide no assurance of our future operating results.
As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company continues to develop our products and has not yet commenced revenue-generating operations related to ongoing manufacturing and/or ongoing licensing. The Company is currently testing its hardware and software platform with the Government of Canada to assess user experience and use cases for employee productivity and military applications. The Company is negotiating with 3 enterprises to conduct user tests to assess user experience and value proposition.
As we continue to develop and have not begun generating revenue from the sale of our products and services, we have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since incorporation, and we expect such losses and negative cash flows to continue in the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had working capital deficiency of $3,094,642 and a cumulative loss since inception of $18,584,282. As a result, our continuance as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operation upon commercialization of our products and services.
It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or if we will attain profitable levels of operations. Management believes it will be successful in raising the necessary funding to continue operations in the normal course of operations, however, there is no assurance that funds will continue to be available on acceptable terms or at all. Our financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should we be unable to continue operations and such adjustments could be material.
The Company was recently formed and has a limited operating history and no revenues.
The Company is a pre-revenue start-up that was established to pursue the development of our products. We lack a historical operating record upon which to assess our business and prospects. Prospective operating results are subject to a multitude of uncertainties, and there is no guarantee of achieving or sustaining profitability. Our prospects must be viewed in the context of the risks inherent to companies in early-stage development, particularly those operating in novel and swiftly evolving markets. Future performance hinges on various factors, including, but not limited to, securing requisite financing, as outlined in this offering, or obtaining funding through alternative means, establishing credit or operational facilities, product development success, effective marketing strategies, customer acquisition, operational cost management, personnel retention, legal and regulatory changes in relevant jurisdictions, and broader economic conditions influencing our customer base. We cannot provide assurances regarding our ability to mitigate these risks successfully.
We may not have adequate capital to fund our business and may need substantial additional funding to continue operations. We may not be able to raise capital when needed, if at all, which would force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or commercialization efforts and could cause our business to fail.
We have not yet initiated revenue-generating activities, relying instead on securing adequate capital to support the ongoing development of Naqi's products, as well as any potential future products or services. The Company expects the earliest commercial launch of its product to occur in 2027. Should our initial capital be fully utilized without access to additional funding through borrowing or alternative sources, it would significantly impact our financial position, operational performance, and business prospects.
The development of our business operations and the commercialization of current and potential future products and services may necessitate further capital infusion. Unforeseen expenses, complications, and delays inherent in pioneering technology development could escalate our capital requirements and deplete our cash reserves faster than anticipated.
Consequently, securing additional funding is imperative for sustaining our operations. However, market conditions, regulatory constraints, or other factors may hinder our ability to raise necessary capital. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain adequate funding to support our business activities. Failure to secure additional funding may compel us to scale back, postpone, or abandon development initiatives or overhead expenditures as necessary.
The inability to meet our operational and capital needs could have a materially adverse impact on our business operations, financial health, and financial performance.
We have limited existing brand identity and customer loyalty; if we fail to attract customers to use our service offerings, our business could suffer.
As we are presently focused on research and development and have yet to commercialize Naqi's products, our brand identity and customer loyalty are not firmly established. We recognize that cultivating and preserving brand identity and loyalty is essential for attracting customers once our products and services become commercially available. To entice customers, significant expenditure may be required to develop and sustain brand recognition among consumers. We anticipate that the costs associated with our marketing initiatives could escalate considerably in the future.
If our endeavors to promote our products and establish brand recognition prove ineffective, it may adversely impact our revenue generation capabilities and the sustainability of our operations.
We depend on third-party suppliers and manufacturers, and supply chain disruptions, engineering challenges or manufacturing delays could delay commercialization of the Naqi Earbud and Naqi Hub and Invisible User Interface.
Naqi Logix is heavily reliant on outsourced vendors for the procurement of components, all of which are vulnerable to disruptions within the global supply chain. Delays in acquiring raw materials and electronic parts for the Naqi Earbud may occur, potentially impeding the distribution of finished products. Moreover, unforeseen engineering challenges during manufacturing, inherent to the novelty of the Naqi Earbud design, could further delay the completion of the final product, thus postponing the commercialization of Naqi's products.
Additionally, there is a risk that the company may encounter difficulties in securing licensing agreements with established brand manufacturers or in establishing partnerships with contract manufacturers.
Our business currently depends on the successful development, validation and commercialization of a limited number of products and technologies, specifically the Naqi Earbuds and Naqi Framework.
As we continue to develop Naqi's products, various factors, including technological and regulatory challenges within our target markets, may impede or delay their potential launch, thereby potentially constraining our profitability. Given that these products constitute our sole focus at present, our overall financial performance hinges directly on their successful development and subsequent performance.
We will need to increase the size of our organization, and we may be unable to manage rapid growth effectively.
Our inability to effectively manage growth could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. A period of substantial expansion is anticipated to accommodate the development and launch of new products and services, alongside potential internal growth to support research and marketing endeavors. This expansion will exert significant pressure on management, operational, and financial resources.
To address the anticipated growth in operations and personnel, we must enhance our existing operational and financial systems, procedures, and controls, as well as implement new ones. Additionally, expansion of our finance, administrative, and operational staff will be necessary. However, there is a risk that our current personnel, systems, procedures, and controls may not adequately support future operations.
Management may encounter challenges in recruiting, training, retaining, motivating, and supervising required personnel, or in identifying, managing, and capitalizing on existing and potential strategic relationships and market opportunities.
We are not subject to Sarbanes-Oxley and lack the internal controls over financial reporting required of public companies.
At present, we lack the internal infrastructure necessary, and are not obligated, to conduct an attestation regarding our internal controls over financial reporting, as mandated by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Consequently, there is a risk that material deficiencies or weaknesses in the effectiveness of these internal controls may go unidentified.
In the future, we may be required, by Sarbanes-Oxley or other relevant laws (including exchange and market regulations), to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Such establishment could result in significant expenses and diversion of management's attention. Failure to establish adequate controls, or any subsequent failure of those controls, could negatively impact our public disclosures concerning our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Moreover, management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may reveal weaknesses and deficiencies requiring attention, or other matters that may raise investor concerns. Any actual or perceived weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure of management's assessment of these controls, or our public accounting firm's attestation to or report on management's assessment could adversely affect the price of our Common Shares.
Our Company does not currently have a Chief Financial Officer, and the absence of a dedicated financial officer may adversely affect our financial reporting and internal controls.
As of November 3, 2025, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Xavier Wenzel, resigned from his position. The Company does not currently intend to fill the Chief Financial Officer position, and no replacement has been identified. As a result, the Company's financial reporting, accounting oversight, internal controls, and regulatory compliance functions are being managed without a dedicated senior financial officer. The absence of a Chief Financial Officer may adversely affect the accuracy and timeliness of the Company's financial reporting and public disclosures, its ability to comply with SEC reporting obligations under Regulation A, the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting, and its ability to manage financial risk. Any deficiencies in financial reporting or internal controls arising from this vacancy could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and ability to raise additional capital.
The smart earbud, gestural input, brain-computer interface and non-tactile input industries are competitive, and we may be unable to compete with companies with greater financial or technical resources than us, which could negatively affect our operations.
The sectors encompassing smart earbuds, gestural input, brain-computer interfaces, and non-tactile inputs are characterized by rapid technological advancements and fierce competition. Our potential success is contingent upon several factors, including access to patents and other technology protections, the ability to effectively commercialize technological innovations, the availability of capital, access to market channels, and obtaining necessary approvals for testing, manufacturing, and commercialization.
We will encounter competition from major global technology firms, some of which may be integrating state-of-the-art biotechnology, signal analysis, sensor development, and computing logic into their products and services. These firms may also seek to exploit the unique patented technology we are developing. Furthermore, competition arises from academic institutions, government agencies, and private research organizations, competing with us in research and development, product development, and market and brand establishment. Additionally, these entities vie for highly skilled scientific personnel, consultants, and investment capital.
The successful development of Naqi's products is highly speculative and dependent on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. The Company, recently formed to develop these products, has yet to commence revenue-generating operations. Our business hinges on the successful development and implementation of such products and prototypes. This underscores the speculative nature of our endeavors, subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.
Key aspects crucial to our success include establishing brand recognition and customer loyalty, effectively developing and deploying new products and services, competing in existing and emerging markets, managing administrative overhead costs, navigating economic conditions, developing our partner ecosystem, validating our technology with co-innovation partners, managing business growth, and expanding into adjacent markets.
There is no guarantee of success in addressing these risks and uncertainties or generating significant revenues or profits. Investment in our Common Shares is speculative, with no assurance of any return on investment. Investors face substantial risks, including the possibility of losing their entire investment.
New products and services may subject us to additional risks. A failure to successfully manage these risks may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Periodically, we may engage in the development and launch of new products and services. Such endeavors entail significant risks and uncertainties, particularly when entering markets that are not fully matured. The development and marketing of new products and services often require substantial investments of time and resources. Initial timelines for product introduction and development may not be met, and targets for pricing and profitability may prove unattainable. Moreover, external factors, including regulatory compliance, competitive alternatives, and evolving market preferences, can influence the successful implementation of new offerings.
Failure to effectively manage these risks associated with the development and implementation of new products or services could materially impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
If we are unable to develop a partner ecosystem, sales, marketing and distribution channels or to enter into agreements with third parties to perform these functions on acceptable terms, we may be unable to generate revenue.
Presently, we lack any internal sales, marketing, or distribution capabilities. Upon introducing products or services to the market, we must establish sales, marketing, and distribution channels for their commercialization. This process may entail substantial expenses and time commitments. Alternatively, we may opt to engage in collaborations with third parties to perform these functions.
Should we choose to directly market our products, significant financial and managerial resources will be required to cultivate a specialized marketing and sales force, equipped with technical expertise, along with supporting distribution, administration, and compliance capabilities. Alternatively, if we rely on third-party collaborations or co-promotion agreements, we must establish and sustain marketing and distribution partnerships, with no guarantee of securing favorable terms or agreements.
In engaging third-party marketing or distribution collaborators, any revenue received, whether directly or indirectly, hinges upon the efforts and profitability of these parties. There exists uncertainty regarding their ability to establish adequate sales and distribution capabilities or achieve market acceptance for our products.
Failure to successfully commercialize products, whether independently or through third-party collaborations, could have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We may face significant competition in Canada and in other markets like United States, Europe and Asia where we may decide to operate in the future.
We anticipate encountering significant competition in Canada and potentially in other markets where we choose to introduce Naqi's products, including but not limited to the United States, Europe, and Asia. This competition may extend to other products and services that we have yet to identify or develop. Many of our competitors may possess considerably greater financial, technical, and operational resources, such as larger research and development teams and established marketing departments. Furthermore, ongoing mergers and acquisitions within our industry could further consolidate resources among our competitors.
Our revenue could fluctuate from period to period, which could have an adverse material impact on our business.
Our revenue may experience fluctuations from period to period in the future, influenced by various factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include events such as changes in state and federal government regulations, international government laws and regulations, or the enforcement thereof. Additionally, general economic and political conditions, both domestically and internationally, as well as occurrences like natural disasters, risks associated with unforeseen events such as new pandemics or foreign conflicts that disrupt global supply chains and trade, may contribute to revenue volatility.
Due to these factors and others detailed elsewhere in this Offering Circular, the results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period may materially differ from those of previous or subsequent periods. Therefore, these results should not be relied upon as indicators of our future performance.
The integration of Wisear and its operations, personnel, and intellectual property involves significant risks that could adversely affect our business.
On February 2, 2026, we completed the acquisition of Wisear Assets & Liabilities SAS. The integration of Wisear's operations, personnel, intellectual property, and technology into our existing business involves significant challenges and uncertainties, including: integration of an international team operating under French employment law and labor regulations; management of Euro-denominated financial liabilities assumed in the acquisition (approximately $1.87 million); retention of key Wisear personnel, of whom 1,600,671 acquisition shares are subject to two-year vesting conditions contingent on continued service; and validation and integration of Wisear's intellectual property portfolio into the Company's broader platform. In addition, our purchase price allocation for the Wisear acquisition is preliminary and provisional, and the final allocation, to be completed within 12 months of the acquisition date, may differ materially from the amounts presented in this Offering Circular, potentially resulting in material adjustments to intangible assets, goodwill, and amortization expense.
We are subject to pending litigation that, if resolved adversely, could result in monetary damages and divert management attention.
On November 24, 2025, Northern Crucible Inc. and an associated individual each filed civil claims against the Company seeking aggregate damages of approximately CAD $500,000 (approximately USD $370,000) in connection with an alleged breach of contract and non-payment of services. Although the Company believes these claims are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously, litigation is inherently uncertain. Defending these proceedings could result in substantial legal fees, require significant management time and attention, and divert financial and operational resources. An adverse outcome affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
If we are unable to effectively protect our intellectual property and trade secrets, it may impair our ability to compete.
Our ability to achieve success is contingent, in part, upon securing and maintaining meaningful intellectual property (IP) protection for our assets. Challenges to the names and/or logos of our brands may arise from holders of trademarks who contest our trademark applications or file opposition notices against them. Similarly, disputes may arise concerning the ownership and use of domains or URLs owned and utilized by us.
We rely on patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets to safeguard our IP. However, there is a risk that these rights may be challenged by others, necessitating enforcement actions. Despite our efforts to protect trade secrets, inadvertent or deliberate disclosure by employees, consultants, contractors or advisors, or independent development by competitors, could compromise their confidentiality. Furthermore, courts outside the United States may offer less robust protection for trade secrets.
Infringement of our IP rights could result in significant litigation costs. Failure to adequately protect trade secrets could lead to competitors offering similar products, eroding our competitive advantage and reducing revenues. Existing IP laws provide limited protection, particularly in some foreign jurisdictions. Consequently, we may be unable to prevent unauthorized third-party use of our IP.
Enforcing claims against third-party infringement could be resource-intensive and unpredictable in outcome, potentially diverting resources and adversely affecting our operating results.
Customer complaints regarding our products and services could hurt our business.
Periodically, we may receive customer complaints regarding the quality of products and services acquired from or licensed by us. In the future, we may also receive correspondence from dissatisfied customers seeking reimbursement, with some individuals threatening legal action if reimbursement is not provided. Moreover, we face the potential risk of product liability lawsuits from customers alleging injury due to perceived defects in our products or services and seeking substantial damages.
As participants in the product supply or distribution chain, we bear the risk of being held legally accountable for such issues. Furthermore, these claims may not fall within the coverage of our insurance policies. Litigation arising from such claims could prove costly, divert management attention, increase business expenses, or otherwise have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Any negative publicity stemming from customer dissatisfaction with our products, services, or websites could tarnish our reputation and diminish the value of our brand name. Such repercussions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Computer, website and/or information system breakdowns, as well as cyber security attacks, could affect our business.
Computer, website, and/or information system failures, along with cyber security breaches, have the potential to disrupt our ability to execute our business strategies. These disruptions may result in diminished revenue and/or reputational harm, which could significantly impact on our financial performance and the investments of our shareholders.
We will depend on third-party providers for a reliable Internet infrastructure as well as other aspects of our technology and applications and the failure of these third parties, or the Internet in general, for any reason would significantly impair our ability to conduct our business.
We intend to outsource certain aspects of our online presence, server requirements, technology development, and data management to third-party providers. These providers will host the physical servers, ensuring power and security in multiple data centers across various geographic locations. However, the uninterrupted operation of these servers is contingent upon consistent access to the Internet.
Our business is vulnerable to disruptions that may arise from various factors, including natural disasters, the financial insolvency of third-party providers, or malicious electronic intrusions into the data centers. Moreover, we may face "denial-of-service" attacks, where unidentified individuals overwhelm our computer servers with data requests, leading to performance degradation. Identifying and neutralizing these attacks may pose challenges.
The failure of a third-party facility, interference with our Internet access due to general Internet equipment failure, or malicious cyber-attacks could significantly damage our business. Specifically, our Naqi Cloud environment could be materially adversely affected, impacting our business operations and financial results.
We may be involved in legal and regulatory proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in legal and regulatory proceedings, which may involve governmental agencies, business entities, customers, or other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. We will assess our potential exposure to these proceedings and establish reserves for estimated liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
However, evaluating and predicting the outcomes of these proceedings entails significant uncertainties. Unforeseen developments in legal matters or changes in management's assessments or predictions, leading to adjustments in established reserves, could negatively affect our financial results.
The liability of our directors and officers and others is limited under certain circumstances.
We may choose to provide indemnification to directors, officers, and other individuals to the fullest extent allowed by law. Additionally, we may seek to eliminate or limit the personal liability of directors, officers, and others to us and our shareholders for monetary damages arising from certain breaches of fiduciary duty to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Such indemnification may extend to liabilities arising in connection with this Offering. However, it's important to note that indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may not be enforceable. We've been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) considers such indemnification contrary to public policy as outlined in the Securities Act.
Despite this, providing such indemnification could potentially have a material adverse effect on us.
Our executive officers, directors and insider shareholders beneficially own or control a substantial portion of the outstanding Common Shares.
Our executive officers, directors, and insider shareholders collectively hold or control a significant portion of the outstanding Common Shares, which may restrict an investor's ability to influence management decisions or the overall direction of the Company. Our CEO, Mark Godsy, currently controls 14.3% of the Common Shares, our CIO, David Segal, controls 8.6% of the outstanding Common Shares, our CBO, Sandeep Arya, controls 1.1% of the outstanding Common Shares while director Gary Roshack controls 5.0%, director Sam Sullivan controls 0.5% and director John Occhipinti 0.5%, and Wisear controls 7.8%. Collectively our executive team and board of directors control approximately 38% of outstanding Common Shares. This concentrated ownership structure may deter or impede potential takeover attempts that could otherwise result in investors receiving a premium over the market price for the Common Shares. These insiders may wield considerable influence over the election of directors and the approval of shareholder actions.
Additionally, our executive officers, directors, and insider shareholders may possess the ability to control matters requiring shareholder approval, such as mergers or other business combinations. The Voting Agreement concentrates voting control in our Chief Executive Officer, which may limit other shareholders' ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage transactions involving a change of control. All investors are required to enter into an adoption agreement pursuant to which they become subject to the Voting Agreement. Under the Voting Agreement, holders of our Common Shares are required to vote their shares in accordance with its terms. For so long as Mr. Godsy is providing services to the Company, shareholders must vote their Common Shares in favor of the election of up to seven directors designated by Mr. Godsy. As a result, Mr. Godsy is able to control the composition of our board of directors, notwithstanding that his economic ownership interest in the Company is significantly less than a majority. The Voting Agreement also requires shareholders to vote in favor of certain corporate actions approved by our board of directors and the requisite holders of our Common Shares, including, subject to customary exceptions, a sale of the Company or other deemed liquidation event approved by our board of directors and the holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding Common Shares. In addition, if a shareholder fails to vote its shares as required by the Voting Agreement, our Chief Executive Officer may vote those shares pursuant to the irrevocable proxy and power of attorney granted thereunder. Accordingly, although Mr. Godsy beneficially owns approximately 14.3% of our securities (subject to recalculation), the Voting Agreement has the effect of concentrating voting control over significant matters in Mr. Godsy. This concentration of control could limit your ability to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions, and could discourage, delay or prevent a merger, takeover or change of control transaction that other shareholders may believe is in their best interests.
These factors may also constrain the price that investors are willing to pay for the Common Shares in the future.
Our success is dependent on part-time executives
The Company relies on the contributions of its CEO, CTO, and CBO, all of whom are not full-time employees and may have other commitments that demand their time and attention. As part-time executives, they may not be available on an ongoing basis to respond to emerging business challenges, regulatory issues, or operational needs, which could adversely impact the Company's ability to execute its business plan and achieve its strategic objectives. Their limited availability may also affect the Company's ability to raise capital, manage financial and operational risks effectively, and respond quickly to market changes. Any reduction in the time and effort that these executives are able to devote to the Company's business could adversely affect the Company's performance, and there can be no assurance that additional resources could be secured to fill any resulting gaps in leadership.
We may have difficulty retaining and acquiring personnel.
The departure of any member of our management team could materially impact our business and operating results. Furthermore, challenges in hiring or increased expenses associated with recruiting new personnel, including executive management, could also have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Expanding the marketing and sales of our impact products and services necessitates the acquisition, retention, and training of additional skilled employees or consultants proficient in understanding, promoting, and selling our offerings. However, the competition for talent in these areas is fierce, and there is no guarantee that we will successfully attract, onboard, integrate, motivate, or retain new personnel, vendors, or subcontractors.
Onboarding new employees and consultants typically entails significant training and a considerable timeframe before they reach peak productivity. Consequently, we may incur substantial costs related to recruiting and retaining talent, including expenses associated with salaries, benefits, and other forms of compensation. There is also a risk of losing newly acquired talent to competitors or other firms before realizing the return on our investment in recruitment and training efforts.
Additionally, as we expand into new jurisdictions, we will need to recruit skilled employees and consultants in those regions to support our operations.
Our directors and officers may have conflicts of interest.
We acknowledge the possibility of encountering conflicts of interest due to the involvement of certain officers and directors in various business activities outside of their roles with our Company. Additionally, our officers and directors may allocate time to pursue these external business interests, provided that such endeavors do not significantly or adversely impede their obligations to the Company.
It is conceivable that the fiduciary duties associated with these outside business interests may conflict with their ability to fully dedicate themselves to our Company's affairs, potentially impacting our operations. These external commitments may demand considerable time and attention from our executive officers and directors.
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS accounting principles.
As a Canadian-incorporated and resident company, our financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which differ from the accounting principles outlined in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). IFRS represents a globally recognized framework for financial reporting utilized by numerous companies worldwide, particularly those outside the United States.
Under Regulation A, Canadian issuers are permitted to prepare and submit financial statements in compliance with IFRS rather than U.S. GAAP. It's important to note that investors from the United States who may not be familiar with IFRS could potentially misinterpret certain information presented in our financial statements.
Therefore, we advise readers of our financial statements to acquaint themselves with the provisions of IFRS accounting principles to gain a comprehensive understanding of the variances between these two sets of principles.
Public health epidemics or outbreaks could adversely impact our business.
Our proposed business plan and operations may be adversely affected by potential medical pandemics, such as COVID-19 and its variants, which could lead to various challenges including impacts on employees, disruptions to operations, supply chain delays, manufacturing interruptions, and restrictions on travel and trade. These pandemics pose significant risks to maintaining a skilled workforce and could present major healthcare challenges for our Company.
There is no guarantee that our personnel will be unaffected by these pandemic diseases, and there is a possibility of reduced workforce productivity or increased medical costs and insurance premiums as a result of health risks. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that our Company will be immune to the adverse consequences that pandemics may bring about in global financial markets, potentially leading to reduced resources, share prices, and financial liquidity, which could severely limit the availability of financing capital in our sector.
Risks Related to Regulations
In certain circumstances, we will be required to seek regulatory approval for our technology if it is intended to be used for medical applications, such as wheelchair control. There is no guarantee we will be successful in procuring all necessary approvals.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees the approval of drugs and medical devices. This includes wheelchairs and accessories for wheelchairs that are designed to improve the quality of performance or ease of use of the wheelchair. Naqi will be required to seek FDA approval in order to market the Naqi neural earbud and Framework as an accessory that is designed to improve the usability of the wheelchair, and there is no guarantee that we will be successful in getting these approvals in the near future, or at all.
Our business is and may become subject to complex and evolving U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy, data use and data protection, content, competition, safety and consumer protection, e-commerce, and other matters. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to our products and business practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations, or declines in user growth or engagement, or otherwise harm our business.
We are and may become subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the United States and abroad that involve matters central to our business and business plan, including privacy, data use, data protection and personal information, biometrics, encryption, rights of publicity, content, integrity, intellectual property, advertising, marketing, distribution, data security, data retention and deletion, data localization and storage, data disclosure, artificial intelligence and machine learning, electronic contracts and other communications, competition, protection of minors, consumer protection, civil rights, accessibility, telecommunications, product liability, e-commerce, taxation, economic or other trade controls including sanctions, anti-corruption and political law compliance, securities law compliance, and online payment services. The introduction of new products, expansion of our activities in certain jurisdictions, or other actions that we may take may subject us to additional laws, regulations, or other government scrutiny. In addition, foreign data protection, privacy, content, competition, consumer protection, and other laws and regulations can impose different obligations or be more restrictive than those in the United States.
These U.S. federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations, which in some cases can be enforced by private parties in addition to government entities, are constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. As a result, the application, interpretation, and enforcement of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly evolving industry in which we operate, and may be interpreted and applied inconsistently from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and inconsistently with our current policies and practices. For example, regulatory or legislative actions or litigation affecting the manner in which we display content to our users, moderate content, or obtain consent to various practices could adversely affect user growth and engagement. Such actions could affect the manner in which we provide our services or adversely affect our financial results.
We are also subject to evolving laws and regulations that dictate whether, how, and under what circumstances we can transfer, process and/or receive certain data that may become critical to our operations, including data shared between countries or regions in which we operate or will operate and data shared among our products and services.
These laws and regulations, as well as any associated claims, inquiries, or investigations or any other government actions, have in the past led to, and may in the future lead to, unfavorable outcomes including increased compliance costs, loss of revenue, delays or impediments in the development of new products, negative publicity and reputational harm, increased operating costs, diversion of management time and attention, and remedies that harm our business, including fines or demands or orders that we modify or cease existing business practices.
In addition, compliance with regulatory and legislative privacy requirements require significant operational resources and modifications to our business practices, and any compliance failures may have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, and financial results.
Risks Related to this Offering and the Common Shares
Our outstanding convertible debentures may result in dilution to investors in this Offering upon conversion or exercise of the accompanying warrants.
Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the Company raised an aggregate of approximately $1,438,959 through the issuance of convertible promissory notes (the ' 2025-2026 Convertible Debentures') in private placement transactions conducted between September 2025 and February 2026. The 2025-2026 Convertible Debentures bear simple interest at 10.0% per annum, mature 12 months from issuance, and are convertible into Common Shares at a fixed conversion price of $2.175 per share. The Company also issued 661,591 share purchase warrants exercisable at $2.175 per share for a five-year term. If all of the 2025-2026 Convertible Debentures are converted and all accompanying warrants are exercised, the Company would be required to issue a material number of additional Common Shares, which would result in dilution to investors in this Offering. In addition, the debt service obligations associated with the 2025-2026 Convertible Debentures, including accruing interest at 10% per annum, increase the Company's fixed cost obligations and may adversely affect its liquidity if the debentures are not converted prior to maturity.
We may terminate this Offering at any time during the Offering Period and do not have a minimum capitalization.
We reserve the right to terminate this Offering at any juncture, irrespective of the number of Common Shares sold. Should we terminate this Offering prior to the sale of all offered Common Shares, any capital raised up to that point will have been utilized by the Company, and no refunds will be issued to subscribers. Notably, we do not stipulate a minimum capitalization requirement and proceeds from this Offering may be immediately utilized following our acceptance of corresponding subscription agreements.
It's important to note that we lack a track record for self-underwritten Regulation A offerings, thus there is no guarantee that the Maximum Offering or any other amount will be sold in this Offering. Consequently, there is a possibility that we may not raise sufficient capital solely from this Offering to execute our business plan, potentially resulting in increased operating losses unless we secure the necessary capital from alternative sources. Additionally, there is no assurance that alternative capital, if required, would be accessible on terms deemed acceptable to us or available at all.
The Common Shares are being offered on a "best efforts" basis and we may not raise sufficient capital to satisfy our working capital needs.
As the offering of the Common Shares is conducted on a "best efforts" basis, there is no guarantee that we will sell a sufficient number of Common Shares to fulfill our working capital requirements. Investors purchasing Common Shares do so without assurance that we will raise adequate funds to fully utilize the proceeds outlined in this Offering Circular or to meet our working capital needs.
It is uncertain when the Common Shares will be listed on an exchange for trading, if ever.
At present, no application is being prepared for the Common Shares to trade on a public market. Consequently, the Common Shares sold in this Offering may not be listed on a securities exchange or quoted on an alternative trading system for an extended period, if at all. Lack of listing or quotation may pose challenges in selling or trading the Common Shares. It cannot be assured that a liquid market for the Common Shares will emerge, and if it does, its sustainability is uncertain. Investors may find it difficult to sell the Common Shares easily or at prices comparable to similar investments in a developed secondary market. The illiquidity may significantly impact the market value of the Common Shares, potentially resulting in losses for investors.
There is currently no established public trading market for our Common Shares, and there can be no assurance that our Common Shares will become listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an alternative trading system. As a result, holders of our Common Shares may be unable to sell their shares at desired times or prices, or at all. The absence of an active trading market may impair the liquidity and market value of our Common Shares and may make it more difficult for investors to evaluate the value of their investment. Even if a trading market develops, it may not be sustained and may be characterized by limited trading volume, significant price volatility and wide bid-ask spreads. Accordingly, investors should be prepared to hold their Common Shares for an indefinite period and bear the risk of a complete loss of their investment.
If our Common Shares become subject to the penny stock rules, the ability of investors to sell their shares could be adversely affected. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not obtain and retain a listing or quotation of the Common Shares and if the price of the Common Shares is less than $5.00, the Common Shares will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for the Common Shares, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling the Common Shares.
We have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds of this Offering and may not use these proceeds effectively, which could affect our results of operations and cause the price of our Common Shares to decline.
We will exercise significant discretion in allocating the net proceeds of this Offering. Our intention is to deploy these funds to support our business strategy, which encompasses various initiatives such as technology development, marketing, business expansion, working capital needs, general corporate purposes including recruitment of additional personnel, and covering expenses related to this Offering. Consequently, investors will need to rely on management's judgment, given the limited information available regarding our specific plans for utilizing the remaining net proceeds.
It is possible that we may allocate the net proceeds to purposes that do not generate a substantial return, or any return at all, for our shareholders. Furthermore, until the funds are utilized, we may invest the net proceeds in a manner that does not yield income or may result in a loss of value.
We do not intend to pay dividends on the Common Shares and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of the Common Shares.
We have not declared or distributed any cash dividends on our Common Shares to date and do not have any plans to do so in the foreseeable future. Our current intention is to utilize future earnings for the advancement, operations, and growth of our business, and we do not foresee any declaration or distribution of cash dividends in the near future. Consequently, the success of investing in our Common Shares will rely on potential future increases in their value. It is important to note that there is no assurance of appreciation in the value of the Common Shares or maintenance of their purchase price.
Terms of subsequent financings, if any, may adversely impact investors' investments.
In the future, we may find it necessary to pursue equity or debt financings. Potential dilution resulting from future equity issuances could diminish the rights and value of each investor's holdings in the Common Shares. Additionally, interest payments on debt securities could escalate costs and potentially impair operating results. Should we require additional equity capital through the issuance of additional stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms that are at least as favorable, if not more so, than the terms of existing investors' investments.
We determined the offering price for the Common Shares being sold in this Offering.
The offering price of the Common Shares in this Offering has been determined arbitrarily by the Company. There is no correlation between the offering price and our assets, book value, net worth, or any other established economic criteria of value. Instead, the price of the Common Shares has been established through internal deliberations, taking into consideration factors such as prevailing market conditions, the Company's projected future prospects, and its capital structure. It should be noted that the offering price may not accurately reflect the true value of the Common Shares or the price that may be achieved upon their disposition.
If an investor purchases Common Shares in this Offering, the investor will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of the Common Shares.
Each investor will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the Common Shares the investor purchases in this Offering. Assuming an offering price of $2.61 per Common Share and that all 5,747,126 Common Shares are sold for estimated net proceeds of $13,287,000 (after deducting estimated offering expenses and fees), investors purchasing Common Shares in this Offering will experience dilution to approximately $2.46 per Common Share in net tangible book value of the Common Shares. In addition, assuming the Maximum Offering amount is sold in this Offering, investors purchasing Common Shares will contribute over 58.3% of the total amount shareholders have invested in the Company since inception and will own approximately 10.6% of the Common Shares outstanding.
DILUTION
As at the date of this Offering Circular, there are 51,654,830 Common Shares and 904,974 Non-Voting Common Shares issued and outstanding, for a total 52,559,804 Common Share Equivalents issued and outstanding. The price of the Common Shares under this Offering is higher than the average per share value of the Common Shares previously issued. Accordingly, investors who purchase Common Shares in this Offering will incur immediate dilution in the pro forma value of their Common Shares. This means that investors that purchase Common Shares will pay a price per share that exceeds the average per share value of the Company's previously issued Common Shares.
An early-stage company typically sells its shares (or grants options over its shares) to its founders and early employees at a very low cash cost, because they are, in effect, putting their "sweat equity" into the company. When the Company seeks cash investments from outside investors, like you, the new investors typically pay a much larger sum for their shares than the founders, early employees or investors from prior financings, which means that the cash value of your stake is diluted because all the shares are worth the same amount, and you paid more than earlier investors for your shares.
The following table compares the price that new investors are paying for their shares with the effective cash price paid by existing shareholders assuming that the shares are sold at $2.61 per share. The schedule presents shares and pricing as issued and reflects all transactions since inception, which gives investors a better picture of what they will pay for their investment compared to the company's insiders than just including such transactions for the last 12 months, which is what the SEC requires.
The following table presents the approximate effective cash price paid for all shares, Non-Voting Common Shares and shares issuable by the Company upon the exercise of outstanding Stock Options and Warrants as of the date of this filing.

The following table illustrates the dilution that new investors will experience upon investment in the Company relative to existing holders of Naqi securities.

Future dilution
Another important way of looking at dilution is the dilution that happens due to future actions by the Company. The investor's stake in a company could be diluted due to the company issuing additional shares. In other words, when a company issues more shares, the percentage of the company that you own will go down, even though the value of the company may go up. You will own a smaller piece of a larger company. This increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as an initial public offering, another crowdfunding round, a venture capital round, or an angel investment), employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (e.g. convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants) into stock.
If the company decides to issue more shares, an investor could experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount earned per share (though this typically occurs only if the company offers dividends, and most early-stage companies are unlikely to offer dividends, preferring to invest any earnings into the company).
The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors most occurs when the company sells more shares in a "down round," meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier offerings. An example of how this might occur is as follows (numbers are for illustrative purposes only):
• In June 2022 Jane invests $20,000 for shares that represent 2% of a company valued at $1 million.
• In December 2022 the company is doing very well and sells $5 million in shares to venture capitalists on a valuation (before the new investment) of $10 million. Jane now owns only 1.3% of the company but her stake is worth $200,000.
• In June 2023 the company has run into serious problems, and in order to stay afloat it raises $1 million at a valuation of only $2 million (the "down round"). Jane now owns only 0.89% of the company and her stake is worth only $26,660.
This type of dilution might also happen upon conversion of convertible notes into shares. Typically, the terms of convertible notes issued by early-stage companies provide that in the event of another round of financing, the holders of the convertible notes get to convert their notes into equity at a "discount" to the price paid by the new investors, i.e., they get more shares than the new investors would for the same price. Additionally, convertible notes may have a "price cap" on the conversion price, which effectively acts as a share price ceiling. Either way, the holders of the convertible notes get more shares for their money than new investors. In the event that the financing is a "down round" the holders of the convertible notes will dilute existing equity holders, and even more than the new investors do, because they get more shares for their money. Investors should pay careful attention to the amount of convertible notes that the company has issued (and may issue in the future), and the terms of those notes.
If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of the company or expecting each share to hold a certain amount of value, it's important to realize how the value of those shares can decrease by actions taken by the company. Dilution can cause drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION & SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
Plan of Distribution
The Company is offering up to 5,747,126 Commons Shares, plus up to 1,149,425 additional Common Shares to be issued as Bonus Shares to investors based upon an investor's investment level, and whether the investors is a prior Company investor, or pre-registers under the testing the waters campaign as described in this Offering Circular. Investor receiving the Bonus Shares will effectively receive a discount to our share price. The maximum offering amount is $18,525,000, but the gross amount of cash that would be collected from sales is $15,525,000.
Agreement with DealMaker Securities, LLC
DealMaker Securities, LLC, a broker-dealer registered with the Commission and a member of FINRA (the "Broker"), has been engaged to provide the administrative and compliance related functions in connection with this Offering, and as broker-dealer of record. Although this role differs from that of a traditional underwriter in that the Broker does not purchase any securities from the Company with a view to sell such for the Company as part of the distribution of the security, the Broker is a statutory underwriter under Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933. Affiliates of Broker have also been engaged to provide technology services and marketing advisory services, specifically Novation Solutions Inc. O/A DealMaker ("DealMaker") and DealMaker Reach, LLC ("Reach").

Technology Services
The Company has also engaged DealMaker, an affiliate of Broker, to create and maintain the online subscription processing platform for the Offering.
After the qualification by the Commission of the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part, this Offering will be conducted using the online subscription processing platform of DealMaker through our website at https://invest.immersed.com, whereby investors will receive, review, execute and deliver subscription agreements electronically as well as make payment of the purchase price through a third party processor by ACH debit transfer, wire transfer or credit card to an account we designate.

We will hold closings upon the receipt of investors' subscriptions, review buy DealMaker Securities and our acceptance of such subscriptions.

Transaction Fee
In connection with this Offering, Investors will be required to pay a Transaction Fee to the Company at the time of the subscription to help offset transaction costs equal to 3.5% of the subscription price per Share (the "Transaction Fee"). The Transaction Fee will apply in connection with the issuance and sale of new Shares by the Company. The aggregate amount paid by the investors related to the Transaction Fee will be allocated to the Company to offset the Offering costs. The Transaction Fee is subject to the 4.5% commission calculation charged by DealMaker Securities. These expenses are included in the maximum compensation set forth in the table above.
Commissions, Discounts, Expenses and Fees

Procedures for Subscribing
After the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Commission, the Company will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Shares. The Company may close on investments on a "rolling" basis (so not all investors will receive their shares on the same date). Investors may subscribe by tendering funds via wire, credit or debit card, or ACH only, and checks will not be accepted. Investors will subscribe via the Company's website and investor funds will be processed via DealMaker's integrated payment solutions. Funds will be delivered to the Escrow Agent and held in the Company's escrow account until the Broker has reviewed the proposed subscription, and the Company has accepted the subscription. Funds released to the Company's bank account will be net funds (investment less payment for processing fees and a holdback equivalent to 5.0% for 90 days).
The Company will be responsible for payment processing fees in relation to this Offering, estimated to be approximately 2.0% of the total proceeds. Upon each closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to the Company for its use.
In order to invest, you will be required to subscribe to the Offering via the Company's website integrating DealMaker's technology and agree to the terms of the offering, Subscription Agreement, and any other relevant exhibits attached thereto.
Investors will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order to invest. The subscription agreement includes a representation by the investor to the effect that, if the investor is not an "accredited investor" as defined under securities law, the investor is investing an amount that does not exceed the greater of 10% of his or her annual income or 10% of their net worth (excluding the investor's principal residence).
Any potential investor will have ample time to review the subscription agreement, along with their counsel, prior to making any final investment decision. Broker will review all subscription agreements completed by the investors. After Broker has completed its review of a subscription agreement for an investment in the Company, and the Company has elected to accept the investor into the offering, the funds may be released to the Company.
The Company maintains the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason, including, but not limited to, in the event that an investor fails to provide all necessary information, even after further requests from the Company, in the event an investor fails to provide requested follow up information to complete background checks or fails background checks, and in the event the Company receives oversubscriptions in excess of the Offering Maximum Amount.
Investors cannot waive compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Notwithstanding any interpretation of the provisions in the Subscription Agreement to the contrary, pursuant to Section 22 of the Securities Act, investors' claims asserted under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder are subject to concurrent state and federal court jurisdiction. Additionally, pursuant to Section 27 of the Exchange Act, and the recent Supreme Court precedent thereunder in Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. v. Manning (2016), the federal courts will have exclusive jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
Escrow Agent
For shares sold through DealMaker Securities, the Company will utilize a third-party escrow account for this offering, and all funds tendered by investors will be held in a segregated account until investor subscriptions are accepted by the Company and reviewed by DealMaker Securities. All subscribers will be instructed to transfer funds by wire, credit or debit card, or ACH transfer which will be placed in the escrow account established for this Offering. We may terminate the Offering at any time for any reason at our sole discretion. Investors should understand that acceptance of their funds into escrow does not necessarily result in their receiving shares; escrowed funds may be returned.
The Escrow Agent is not participating as an underwriter, placement agent or sales agent of this Offering and will not solicit any investments, recommend our securities, distribute this Offering Circular or other offering materials to investors or provide investment advice to any prospective investor, and no communication through any medium, including any website, should be construed as such.
No Minimum Offering Amount
The shares being offered will be issued in one or more closings. No minimum number of shares must be sold before a closing can occur. Potential investors should be aware that there can be no assurance that any other funds will be invested in this offering other than their own funds. See "Risk Factors - This offering is being conducted on a "best efforts" basis and does not require a minimum amount to be raised."
Investors' Tender of Funds
After the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Commission, we will accept tenders of funds to purchase whole shares. We will conduct multiple closings on investments (so not all investors will receive their shares on the same date). Each time we accept funds transferred from the Escrow Agent is defined as a "Closing." Some of the funds tendered by potential investors will be held by the Escrow Agent and will be transferred to us at each Closing.
No Selling Shareholders
No securities are being sold for the account of security holders; all net proceeds of this offering will go to the Company.
Perks and Bonus Shares
Additional Bonus Shares
Certain investors in this Offering are eligible to receive Bonus Shares in additional to the Common Shares subscribed for as part of the Offering, effectively discounting the price per share so offered. Those investors will receive, as part of their investment, additional shares for their shares purchased, Bonus Shares, equal to up to 20% (see "Aggregated Bonus Shares" below) of the Common Shares they purchase, depending upon whether they meet other prerequisites, or meet the volume-based entitlements to Bonus Shares described below. In order to receive volume-based entitlements from an investment, investors must submit a single subscription as part of this Offering to meet the minimum volume entitlement requirements. Bonus Shares based on volume entitlements will not be issued if an investor submits multiple subscriptions for Common Shares under this Offering that, when combined, meet the volume entitlement. All entitlements occur when the Offering is completed.
Loyalty Bonus
Investors who have previously invested in Naqi Logix or who were registered in the Company's Regulation A offering as qualified on July 26, 2022, but were unable to complete their investment at that time, are eligible to receive a Loyalty Bonus of 5% additional Common Shares as Bonus Shares upon participating in this Offering.
Reservation Bonus
If an investor chose to reserve their position during the testing the waters campaign, they would also receive the 5% Reservation Bonus.
Volume Based Bonus Shares
Investors who invest at least $1,000 will receive the following:
• 2% Bonus Shares
Investors who invest at least $2,000 will receive the following:
• 5% Bonus Shares
Investors who invest at least $3,000 will receive the following:
• 10% Bonus Shares
Investors who invest at least $5,000 will receive the following:
• 15% Bonus Shares
Investors who invest at least $10,000 will receive the following:
• 20% Bonus Shares
Investors who invest at least $50,000 will receive the following:
• 20% Bonus Shares and a private virtual meeting with Naqi inventor, David Segal, our founder and CIO.
Investors who invest at least $100,000 will receive the following:
• 20% Bonus Shares and an exclusive in person meeting with Naqi inventor and CIO, David Segal, with a live product demonstration. Flights/transportation and accommodations will be included.1
Investors who invest at least $250,000 will receive the following:
• 20% Bonus Shares and spend a day with Naqi's inventor, David Segal, and CEO with hands-on experience of the Naqi earbud at Harrisburg University's Gaming Lab. Flights/transportation and accommodations will be included.1
** in order to receive perks from an investment, investors must submit a single subscription under this Offering that meets the minimum entitlement requirement. The amount invested does not include amounts paid directly to DealMaker Securities LLC as part of the 3.5% processing fee. Bonus Shares from entitlements will not be granted if an investor submits multiple subscriptions that, when combined, meet the entitlement requirement. All entitlements occur when the offering is completed. Crowdfunding investments made through a self-directed IRA cannot receive perks due to tax laws. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) prohibits self-dealing transactions in which the investor receives an immediate, personal financial gain on investments owned by their retirement account. As a result, an investor must refuse those perks because they would be receiving a benefit from their IRA account.
1. Travel expenses such as flights to and from the destination, as well as accommodation for the visit will be provided to the investor by Naqi Logix.
Aggregated Bonus Shares
Aggregated Bonus Shares
The Loyalty Bonus Shares, Reservation Bonus Shares, and Volume Based Bonus Shares may be stacked up to a cumulative maximum of 20% in Bonus Shares. Therefore, any investor that satisfies the requirements for any Bonus Shares, will receive the maximum aggregate amount of (a) Loyalty Bonus shares if they are prior owners and (b) Reservation Bonus shares if they are reservation holders and (c) Volume-Based Bonus Shares for which they qualify, up to a maximum bonus of 20%.
For example, if an investor invested $2,001.87 (not including the DealMaker Securities processing fee) rather than $522, and had not only reserved shares during TTW, but tried to invest previously, but were unable to complete the subscription, they would qualify for the Reservation, Loyalty, and Volume Based Bonus (which provides for a 5% bonus at that investment amount). In that case, their cumulative bonus would be 5% for the Loyalty Bonus, 5% for the Reservation Bonus and 5% for the Volume Based Bonus, for a total bonus of 15%. Investors receiving the 15% bonus will pay an effective price of approximately $2.27 per share before the DeaMaker Securities processing fee. All Bonus Shares will be issued by calculating the available Bonus Share amount rounded down to the nearest whole share.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Our Group Structure
The following organization chart indicates the intercorporate relationships of the Company and its significant subsidiaries, together with the jurisdiction of formation, incorporation or continuance of each entity (Wisear Assets & Liabilities SAS ("Wisear") is shown as part of the organization chart as of the date of this filing and was not a subsidiary of the Company as of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025).

Overview of the Company
Naqi Logix Inc. ("Naqi" or "the Company") was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on August 4, 2020. Its corporate office location is 100 Park Royal, Suite 200, West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7T 1A2.
Naqi Logix Inc. is a neurotechnology company focused on developing a non-invasive human-machine interface platform designed to enable users to control digital systems without the use of their hands, voice, or traditional graphical interfaces. The Company's technology is delivered through wearable devices, currently embodied in a neural earbud form factor, combined with proprietary software and signal-processing technologies.
The Company's platform is designed to capture biosignals and motion data generated by natural facial micro-gestures and head movements and translate those signals into digital commands capable of interacting with computers, mobile devices, robotics, and connected environments. Unlike invasive brain-computer interface technologies that require surgical implantation, Naqi's solution is external to the body and can be worn and removed like a conventional earbud.
The Company's wearable neural interfaces could represent a potential new input modality for interacting with digital systems. By enabling users to issue commands silently and without physical contact with devices, the platform may support a range of applications across accessibility technologies, consumer electronics, computing interfaces, and connected device ecosystems.
Subsequent to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Company signed a Share Purchase Agreement dated December 30, 2025 (the "Wisear Purchase Agreement") among the Company, Wisear SAS and Wisear providing for the acquisition by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Wisear not already held by the Company (the "Wisear Acquisition"). This Wisear Acquisition closed on February 2, 2026. Wisear is a neurotechnology company based in France focused on biosignal-based gesture recognition for wearable devices. The Wisear Acquisition expands the Company's intellectual property portfolio and strengthens its capabilities in biosignal acquisition, signal processing, and machine learning technologies relevant to wearable neural interface systems.
The Company's current wearable neural interface platform, as presently contemplated for consumer electronic applications, may not require regulatory clearance. Certain future medical, assistive or other regulated applications of the Company's technology, including potential applications incorporating acquired Wisear technology, may require regulatory approvals depending on intended use and jurisdiction.
Our Corporate Strategy

Most recently, in furtherance of this strategy, the Company completed the acquisition of Wisear Assets & Liabilities SAS on February 2, 2026, which expanded the Company's intellectual property portfolio and strengthened its capabilities in biosignal acquisition, signal processing, and machine learning. In connection with such strategy and to facilitate our long-term growth, we continue to evaluate various strategic opportunities, including partnerships with original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), and providers of complementary technologies and intellectual property ("IP") to further our goals by adding technology, differentiation, customers and/or revenue. We are primarily looking for partnerships that have business value and operational synergies, while remaining opportunistic with respect to other strategic and/or attractive transactions. We believe these complementary technologies will add value to the Company and allow us to provide a comprehensive integrated ecosystem to our customers. In addition, we may seek to expand our capabilities around robotics, accessibility technology, consumer electronics, and emerging human-machine interface systems. Candidates with proven technologies and products that complement our overall strategy may come from anywhere in the world, as long as there are strategic and financial reasons to establish the partnership. We are also exploring opportunities that will supplement our revenue growth, which may include value-enhancing acquisitions that provide business value and operational synergies, as well as other opportunistic or strategic transactions that we believe may increase overall shareholder value. These may include, but are not limited to, alternative investment opportunities, such as minority investments, acquisitions or joint ventures. If we make any acquisitions in the future, we expect that we may pay for such acquisitions using our equity securities and/or cash and debt financings in combinations appropriate for each acquisition.
Naqi Platform Architecture
Naqi has developed a hardware-enabled software platform designed to interpret user intent through biosignals captured in and around the ear. The platform currently consists of three primary components:
• the Naqi Neural Earbud, a wearable sensing device
• the Naqi Hub, the software platform that interprets and executes commands
• the Invisible User Interface (IUI), a command architecture designed to allow navigation and control without visual interaction
Together, these components form an integrated system intended to allow users to command and control digital environments using subtle physical signals and gestures.
Naqi Neural Earbud
The Company's initial wearable implementation of its neural interface platform is an ear-worn device similar in form factor to widely adopted consumer audio earbuds.
The device integrates multiple sensor technologies designed to capture biosignals and motion data, including electromyographic (EMG), electroencephalographic (EEG), and electrocardiographic (ECG) signals, along with inertial measurement units (IMUs) capable of detecting head movement and orientation. These signals may be generated by natural facial micro-gestures such as jaw clenches, eyebrow movements, eye blinks, and other subtle muscle activations.
When combined with the Company's signal-processing algorithms and software environment, these signals may be translated into discrete commands capable of interacting with external digital systems.
Naqi Hub Software Platform
The Naqi Hub serves as the primary software environment for processing signals captured by the wearable device and translating them into executable commands.
The software connects to the Naqi Neural Earbud through wireless connectivity and processes biosignals and motion data using the Company's proprietary algorithms. The platform enables command mapping, device integration, and user customization.
Naqi Hub currently supports integration with desktop and mobile computing environments and may interface with connected devices through standard communication protocols and application programming interfaces (APIs). User settings and command configurations may be stored locally or synchronized through cloud-based infrastructure.
Invisible User Interface
The Company's proprietary Invisible User Interface ("IUI") is designed to allow users to navigate digital commands without reliance on traditional graphical interfaces or physical controllers.
The interface architecture allows users to access command structures through intentional gestures detected by the wearable device. These gestures activate a navigation environment through which users may select commands using combinations of facial movements, head motion, and other detected signals.
The Company believes this approach may enable users to interact with digital systems in situations where traditional interfaces are impractical, such as when the user's hands are occupied or lack motricity, when voice input is not desirable or practical, or when visual interfaces are unavailable or unwanted.
Use Cases
The Company has demonstrated the ability of its platform to control a range of digital systems including personal computers, mobile devices, smart home systems, and connected hardware such as mobility devices and robotic systems.
The platform is designed to be adaptable to multiple device ecosystems and may be integrated into a variety of wearable products, including head-mounted devices such as augmented reality and virtual reality systems.
Because the system translates physical signals into digital commands that can interact with software interfaces, the Company believes the platform may support a broad set of future applications across accessibility technologies, computing interfaces, gaming platforms, smart environments, and human-AI interactions.

For example, Meta Platforms, Inc. has publicly disclosed development of wrist-based electromyography interfaces designed to interpret neural signals from the forearm to control computing systems. Other companies and research organizations are exploring ear-based biosignal sensing, neural wearables, and related technologies.
Implantable Brain-Computer Interface Systems
Certain companies are pursuing implantable brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies intended to read neural signals directly from the brain. These systems generally require surgical implantation and are currently focused primarily on clinical or research applications.
Companies pursuing implantable BCI technologies include Neuralink Corporation, Synchron Inc., and Blackrock Neurotech. While these technologies differ significantly from the Company's non-invasive approach, they represent alternative long-term pathways for enabling neural interaction with computers and connected devices.
Consumer Electronics and Wearable Platforms
Major consumer electronics companies continue to expand the capabilities of wearable devices, including earbuds, smart glasses, and other sensor-enabled devices. Companies such as Apple Inc., Samsung Electronics, Google LLC, and Sony Group Corporation have significant resources devoted to wearable computing platforms and could potentially develop alternative user interface technologies or integrate competing sensing capabilities into future devices.
These companies possess substantial financial resources, global manufacturing capabilities, established distribution channels, and large developer ecosystems, which may enable them to introduce competing technologies.
Assistive Technology and Alternative Input Systems
The Company's technology also intersects with the assistive technology market, where various solutions enable individuals to interact with computers and devices without traditional input methods.
Companies developing alternative accessibility solutions include manufacturers of eye-tracking systems, adaptive switches, voice-driven control systems, and specialized controllers. These technologies may compete with the Company's platform in certain accessibility use cases.
Competitive Factors
Competition within these markets is influenced by several factors, including:
• Signal accuracy and reliability
• Ease of use and user comfort
• Integration with software platforms and connected devices
• Power efficiency and miniaturization

FCC
FCC certification is a type of product certification for electronic and electrical goods that are manufactured or sold in the United States. It certifies that the radio frequency emitted from a product is within limits approved by the FCC.
CE
Many products require CE marking before they can be sold in the European Union (the "EU"). CE marking indicates that a product has been assessed by the manufacturer and deemed to meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements. It is required for products manufactured anywhere in the world that are then marketed in the EU.
WEEE Directive
The WEEE Directive is the European Community Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment which, together with the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, became European Law in February 2003. The WEEE Directive set collection, recycling and recovery targets for all types of electrical goods, with a minimum rate of four kilograms (nine pounds) per head of population per annum recovered for recycling by 2009. The RoHS Directive set restrictions upon European manufacturers as to the material content of new electronic equipment placed on the market.
RoHS Directive
The RoHS Directive, also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the EU and restricts the use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products. All applicable products in the EU market after July 1, 2006 must pass RoHS compliance.
Legal Proceedings
On November 24, 2025, Northern Crucible Inc., a contractor previously engaged by the Company to assist with project management and administration related to a contract between the Company and the Government of Canada's Department of Industry (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada), filed a Notice of Civil Claim against the Company alleging breach of contract and non-payment of services and seeking damages of approximately CAD $250,000. On the same date, an individual associated with Northern Crucible filed a separate Notice of Civil Claim asserting similar allegations and damages in the same amount. Northern Crucible had been retained by the Company in June 2023 in connection with the execution of a government contract valued at approximately CAD $1.37 million. During the first half of 2024, the Company identified discrepancies between reimbursement claims prepared by Northern Crucible and supporting project documentation and subsequently conducted an internal review with the assistance of external counsel, terminated its engagement with Northern Crucible, and notified the relevant government agency of its findings. The Company has also invoked its contractual right to arbitration and has engaged in discussions with the claimants to seek a resolution of the matter. The proceedings remain pending as of the date of this filing. The Company believes the claims are without merit; however, there can be no assurance that the Company's assessment of the matter will prove accurate.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Please "See Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our annual report on Form 1-K, filed pursuant to Regulation A, for the fiscal annual year ended June 30, 2025, which the Company filed with the SEC on March 20, 2026 and which is incorporated by reference herein.
Plan of Operations
Naqi's products and services are not yet commercially launched and the Company has not received any revenue from operations to date. The Company has prepared its plan of operations for the next 12 months and has identified a budget requirement of approximately $350,000 per month. The Company estimates that the earliest commercial launch of its products will occur in its fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3,094,642, cash on hand of $7,509, and a cumulative deficit since inception of $18,584,282. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the Company has taken the following steps to improve its near-term liquidity: (i) raised an aggregate of approximately $1,438,959 through the issuance of the 2025-2026 Convertible Debentures between September 2025 and February 2026, bearing interest at 10% per annum, convertible into Common Shares at $2.175 per share, with 661,591 accompanying share purchase warrants exercisable at $2.175 per share; (ii) received approximately $383,000 in subscription receipts for Common Shares; and (iii) received $427,952 in proceeds from this Offering through the date of this Offering Circular. Following the closing of the Wisear Acquisition on February 2, 2026, the Company's organizational structure has expanded to include the Wisear team of approximately eight engineers.
As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company has limited cash on hand and is dependent on the proceeds of this Offering to fund its ongoing operations and implement its plan of operations. The Company operates at an estimated monthly expenditure rate of approximately $300,000. At this rate, without the proceeds of this Offering or other external financing, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to continue operations for the next 3 months. The Company believes that if sufficient proceeds are raised in this Offering, those proceeds will satisfy its cash requirements for the implementation of its plan of operations for the period described above. However, there is no assurance that the Offering will raise sufficient funds, and if the Company is unable to raise adequate proceeds through this Offering, it will need to seek alternative financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. See "Risk Factors" for a discussion of risks relating to the Company's liquidity position and its ability to continue as a going concern. With this proposed Offering, Naqi expects to raise between $3.28 million (which reflects raising 25% plus investor processing fee of the $15 million raise) and $15.52 million (which reflects 100% plus investor processing fee of fully subscribed raise). The Company expects that the proceeds from the offering will satisfy its cash requirements, and the Company does not expect that it will be required to raise any additional funding within the next six months to implement its plan of operations.

The Shareholder Rights Agreement
The Shareholder Rights Agreement provides the Company's shareholders with a number of rights and ensures the Company operates according to best practices. The Shareholder Rights Agreement establishes the right of owners of at least 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares ("Major Shareholders") to receive financial statements from the Company unless waived. All other shareholders of the Company may receive such financial statements following their delivery of a written request to the Company. The Shareholder Rights Agreement provides that, subject to the terms of the Shareholder Rights Agreement and applicable law, the Company shall first offer any new securities of the Company to each Major Shareholder, and each Major Shareholder shall have the right to participate in such offering of new securities up to the percentage of the Common Shares then held by such Major Shareholder. The Major Shareholders are not required to purchase the additional securities but can do so at their option. The Shareholder Rights Agreement provides for additional standard covenants of the Company including: (i) director and officer insurance; (ii) protection of the Company's IP and confidential information; and (iii) meetings of the Board. Certain other shareholders have the same rights as Major Shareholders under the Shareholder Rights Agreement.
The Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement
The Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement regulates the mechanics of sales and transfers of the Common Shares. The right of first refusal provides that where a shareholder proposes to transfer shares of the Company, the Company shall have a right of first refusal to purchase all or any portion of such shares that such shareholder may propose to transfer at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as those offered to the prospective transferee. The Major Shareholders shall have a secondary refusal right to purchase all or any portion of the shares proposed to be transferred but not purchased by the Company pursuant to its right of first refusal. The right of co-sale provides that if any shares to be transferred to a proposed transferee and they are not purchased pursuant to the right of first refusal by the Company (or the secondary refusal right by the Major Shareholders, as applicable), each Major Shareholder may elect to exercise its right of co-sale and participate in the proposed share transfer on a pro-rata basis on the same terms and conditions in the proposed transfer. The right of first refusal (and secondary refusal right) and the right of co-sale shall not apply to certain "exempt" transfers, which include: (i) in the case of a shareholder that is an entity, to transfers to its shareholders, members, partners or other equity holders; (ii) repurchases of shares by the Company where such repurchase is pursuant to an agreement containing vesting and/or repurchase provisions approved by a majority of the Board; and (iii) in the case of a shareholder that is a natural person, upon a transfer of shares made for bona fide estate planning purposes. Shareholders are prohibited from transferring shares to any competitor or any customer, distributor or supplier of the company if such transfer would place the Company at a competitive disadvantage with respect to such customer, distributor or supplier. The Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement further provides for a prohibition on the sale of the Company's shares for 180 days (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions) following the closing of a going public transaction. A transfer of shares that is not made in compliance with the agreement shall be null and void, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company or with its transfer agent and shall not be recognized by the Company. Certain other shareholders have the same right as Major Shareholders under the Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement.
The Voting Agreement
The Voting Agreement is an agreement between the Company and its shareholders. The Voting Agreement provides Mark Godsy with the right to, among other things, designate up to seven director nominees to the board of directors for so long as he is providing services to the Company as an employee of the Company or any subsidiary, engaged as a contractor, consultant, or advisor to the Company or any subsidiary, appointed as an officer to the Company or any subsidiary, or otherwise providing services as an owner of the Company to the Company or any subsidiary. Each shareholder is required to vote their shares in favor of the election of such director nominees. At present, Mr. Godsy has elected not to exercise his right to appoint any such nominees to the board of directors.
Further, the Voting Agreement provides that any corporate action that is approved by the board of directors but which also requires shareholder approval, whether by special resolution or ordinary resolution, as applicable, as provided in the British Columbia Business Corporations Act ("BCBCA") shareholders are obligated to vote their shares in favor of such corporate action. Under the BCBCA, such actions include, but are not limited to, certain amendments to the Notice of Articles and the Articles of the Company, amendments to the share capital of the Company, reductions in the capital on the shares of the Company, an amalgamation or arrangement involving the Company, a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, a continuance of the Company into another jurisdiction outside of British Columbia and the voluntary liquidation or dissolution of the Company. The Voting Agreement also requires shareholders to waive any dissent, appraisal or similar rights to which they may be entitled with respect to such corporate actions, to the extent permitted by law. The Voting Agreement establishes a drag-along right, which requires a minority shareholder to sell their shares in the context of a board of directors approved sale of the Company if more than 66-2/3% of shareholders approve such sale of the Company. Approximately, 100% of the Common Shares are subject to the Voting Agreement.
When subscribing for Common Shares in the Company, investors will be required to execute an adoption agreement to the Voting Agreement pursuant to which the investor will agree to be bound by the terms of the Voting Agreement as a shareholder as though such investor were originally a party thereto.
The Voting Trust Agreement
Certain shareholders of the Company have entered into voting trust agreements with the Company (the "Voting Trust Agreements"), whereby each such shareholder deposits its shares in a voting trust and such shares can be voted by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company appointed from time to time. In connection with entering into the Voting Trust Agreements, the shareholders delivered to the Chief Executive Officer an irrevocable power of attorney. Pursuant to the power of attorney, the Chief Executive Officer is entitled to deliver a proxy at shareholder meetings to vote the shares of such shareholders and is entitled to execute on behalf of such shareholders, any resolution or other instrument in writing to be executed by the voting shareholders of the Company, including any agreement among the shareholders of the Company.
Equity Incentive Plan
On December 29, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Naqi Logix Inc. Equity Incentive Plan ("the Plan"), which allows for the grant of certain incentive equity awards to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company who will contribute to the Company's long-term success by providing them with incentives that align their interests with those of the shareholders of the Company.
The aggregate number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of all options granted under the Plan has been fixed at 9,694,775 Common Shares, representing 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares, on a non-diluted basis as at the date of this filing.
The number of Non-Voting Common Shares available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Plan will increase as the number of issued and outstanding Non-Voting Common Shares of the Company increases. In general, Non-Voting Common Shares subject to awards granted under the Plan that are exercised, terminated or cancelled, or returned to the Company for any reason, shall be available for issuance pursuant to subsequent awards granted pursuant to the Plan.
Administration
Our Board, or a committee of the Board designated by the Board, will administer the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Board has the power to determine when and how awards will be granted, which employees, directors or consultants will receive awards, the type and terms of the awards granted, including the number of Non-Voting Common Shares subject to each award and the vesting schedule of the awards, if any, and to interpret the terms of the Plan and the award agreements, among other things. The Board also has the authority to accelerate the time at which an award may vest or be exercised, to approve forms of award agreements to be used under the Plan and amend the terms of any award agreement, and to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.
The Board will determine the provisions, terms and conditions of each award granted pursuant to the Plan, including vesting schedules, forfeiture or repurchase provisions, forms of payment (cash, shares, or other consideration) upon settlement of the award, payment contingencies and satisfaction of any performance criteria.
Stock Options and Incentive Stock Options
The Plan allows for the grant of incentive stock options that qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and non-incentive stock options. Prior to an initial public offering, the exercise price of all options granted under the Plan will be determined by the Board, and in effect on the day of grant. Post IPO, the Board will establish the exercise price at the time each option is granted, which exercise price must in all cases be not less than the price required by the applicable regulatory authorities. The term of an option may not exceed 10 years, except that with respect to any employee who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock or any parent or subsidiary corporation as of the grant date, the term must not exceed five years, and the exercise price must equal at least 110% of the fair market value of the common share on the grant date. The Board will determine the terms of stock option awards pursuant to the Plan, including, without limitation, the permitted method(s) of payment for Non-Voting Common Shares upon the exercise of an option award, and vesting terms. After the continuous service of an option recipient terminates, the recipient's awards may be exercised, to the extent vested at the time of such termination, during the period of time specified in the recipient's award agreement, which generally will be the period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date that is 90 days following the termination of the recipient's continuous service and (ii) the expiration of the term of the option. If the recipient does not exercise the option within the applicable time period, the option will terminate.
Restricted Share Units
The Plan allows for the grant of restricted share units ("RSUs"). RSUs are awards that will result in payment to a recipient at the end of a specified period only if the vesting criteria established by the Board are achieved or the award otherwise vests. Upon vesting and exercise of the award, an RSU may be settled by the delivery of Non-Voting Common Shares, their cash equivalent, any combination thereof or any other form of consideration, as determined by the Board and set forth in the applicable award agreement. The Board may determine the consideration, if any, to be paid by the recipient upon exercise of an RSU and delivery of each Non-Voting Common Share subject to the RSU. The Board may impose whatever conditions to vesting, or restrictions and conditions to payment, that it determines to be appropriate. The Board may set restrictions based on the achievement of specific performance goals or on the continuation of service or employment, or any other restrictions or conditions it deems appropriate. Upon termination of the continuous service of an RSU recipient, any unvested portion of the recipient's RSU award will be forfeited, except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement.
Transferability of Awards
The Plan does not allow for the transfer of awards granted under the Plan except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement or as otherwise expressly consented to by the Board.
Certain Adjustments
In the event of certain changes in our capitalization, the Board will make appropriate and proportionate adjustments to one or more of the number of Non-Voting Common Shares that are covered by outstanding awards, the exercise or purchase price of Non-Voting Common Shares covered by outstanding awards, and the numerical share limits contained in the Plan.
Corporate Transactions
The Plan provides that in the event of a corporate transaction such as a "Sale of the Company", as such term is defined in the Plan, the Board may take one or more of the following actions with respect to awards granted under the Plan: (i) cause the conversion or exchange of each outstanding option into Common Shares on a net issuance basis in accordance with a pre-defined formula; (ii) cause the conversion or exchange of each outstanding option into options, rights or other securities of substantially equivalent value (or greater value) as determined by the Board in its discretion, in an entity participating in or resulting from such liquidity event; (iii) accelerate the vesting, in whole or in part, of outstanding awards such that the outstanding options shall be fully vested and exercisable contemporaneously with the completion of the transaction resulting in the liquidity event; (iv) determine that any or all outstanding options will be purchased by the Company or an entity related to the Company at the liquidity event price less the exercise price for the option shares available to be purchased under such options; (v) cancel any or all of such outstanding unvested options.
The Board has the authority to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, without shareholder approval Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the discretion of the Board, the termination of this Plan shall have no effect on outstanding Awards, which shall continue in effect in accordance with their terms and conditions and the terms and conditions of the Plan.
Penny Stock Regulation
The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the investor in such securities and have received the investor's written consent to the transaction prior to the investment. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As the Common Shares immediately following this Offering may be subject to such penny stock rules, investors in this Offering may find it more difficult to sell the Common Shares in the secondary market.
Absence of Public Market
We are an alternative reporting company under Regulation A, Tier 2 of the Securities Act. There is no public trading market for the Common Shares. No application is currently being prepared for the Common Shares to be listed on a securities exchange or quoted on an alternative trading system. As a result, the Common Shares sold in this Offering may not be listed on a securities exchange or quoted on an alternative trading system for an extended period of time, if at all. (See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 12).
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Set forth below are recent sales of unregistered securities:
On December 31, 2024, the Company closed a financing for $1,097,138.16 issuing 512,946 Common Shares, to accredited investors.
Issued 188,750 common shares, under a Regulation A financing for gross proceeds of $427,952. In accordance with the subscription agreement, certain investors were entitled to bonus shares pursuant to Schedule A (loyalty, reservation, and volume incentives), which reduced the effective average issue price per share compared to the base subscription price. The Company incurred $79,305 of share issuance costs related to the issuance of these shares.
On December 30, 2025, the Company entered into a binding share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of Wisear Assets and Liabilities ("Wisear") shares via a share exchange. Wisear is early-stage company that develops and licenses next-generation human computer interface technology. The business rationale for the Wisear acquisition was to acquire its intellectual property, inclusive of its patent portfolio, as well as its technology development expertise and workforce. The acquisition closed in February 2026.
Pursuant to the Wisear Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 4,053,654 Common Shares at an issue price of $2.40 per share (the "Consideration Shares"). 1,600,671 of the Consideration Shares will vest over two years following the Wisear Acquisition contingent on the continued employment or services of the Wisear team. In addition, the Company also acquired Wisear long term liabilities of $2,291,999.
No finder's fees were paid in connection with the Wisear Acquisition. The acquisition of Wisear is considered to be a business combination under IFRS 3 as Wisear has inputs and processes that are capable of producing outputs. The Company incurred $266,406 of acquisition-related costs in its fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 which are included in professional fees in the Company's Consolidated Statement of net loss and comprehensive loss.
As a result of limited access to Wisear information required to prepare the preliminary purchase allocation, together with the limited time since the acquisition date and the effort required to conform the financial statements of Wisear to the Company's accounting policies, the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete at the date of these financial statements. As a result, the Company is unable to provide the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the resulting amount of goodwill.

WISEAR
Independent Auditor's Report
To the President of WISEAR,
Opinion
In response to your request, we have audited the financial statements of WISEAR Company (the Company), which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2024, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended prepared in conformity with IFRS as adopted in the European Union.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the professional standards applicable in France and the professional guidelines of the National Company of Auditors (CNCC). These standards are adopted by the High Audit Authority (H2A) and approved by the Minister of Justice. The approved standards in force are generally consistent with the international auditing standards developed by IFAC (International Federation of Accountants), of which the CNCC is a member.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in France, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRSs and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
WISEAR
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with CNCC professional guidance will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Note 1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Wisear Company ("the Company") is a French simplified joint-stock company with its registered office located in France, at rue des Plaines de l'Yonne, 89000 Auxerre.
The Company specializes in the development of neural interface and artificial intelligence technologies that allow the integration of touchless and voice-free control into consumer electronic devices
At the end of 2024, the Company created Wisear Assets & Liabilities to carry out a partial contribution of all these assets and liabilities, which was completed at fair value. In exchange for this partial contribution of assets, the Company received 100% of the shares of Wisear Assets & Liabilities valued at €8,893K.
Consequently, since the entirety of the activity was transferred to Wisear Assets & Liabilities by Wisear, which owns it, for the sake of consistency in the comparability of the accounts presented below in IFRS, the year 2023 corresponds to the IFRS financial statements of Wisear, and the year 2024 corresponds to the consolidated IFRS financial statements of the Group, consisting of its parent company Wisear and its wholly-owned subsidiary Wisear Assets & Liabilities. This is also the reason why a comparative cash flow statement as of December 31, 2023, is not presented.

- Amendments to IAS 1 « Presentation of the financial statements - Classification of liabilities as current or non-current» ;
- Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 « Financial instruments».
The financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, rounded up to the nearest thousand euros, unless otherwise indicated.
| The Company's first IFRS financial statements are prepared according to the going concern principle and historical cost, except for certain financial instruments and available-for-sale financial assets, which are measured at fair value. | 8 |
3.2. Use of judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and the information provided in some Notes.
Certain financial accounting information has required significant estimations to be made: in particular the value of deferred tax assets, provisions for risks, retirement benefit plans.
3.3. Foreign currencies
The financial statements are presented in euros, which is the Group's functional currency. Almost all of the Group's transactions are denominated in euros.
3.4. Revenue recognition
Wisear's revenue mainly comes from the sale of prototypes and connected objects incorporating its control technology, as well as from licensing this technology, particularly to Naqi.
3.5. Intangibles assets
Intangible assets are recorded at their acquisition cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortised over their useful economic life, using the straight-line method.
Research and development costs
The Group regularly incurs research and development costs. Research costs are systematically expensed as incurred. Development expenditures are recognised as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate the following six things:
• the technical feasibility required for completion of the development project;
• its intention to complete the project and put it into service;
• the capacity to use the intangible asset;
• the probability of future economic benefits being generated;
• the availability of technical, financial and other resources to complete the project; and
• the ability to reliably measure the development expenditure.
As of the date the financial statements were prepared, the company considers that these criteria were not met prior to the commitment of costs.
Consequently, development expenses were recognized as an expense in the financial year in which they were incurred.
3.6. Tangible assets
| Property, plant and equipment are initially accounted for at their acquisition cost. Depreciation, calculated from the date of commissioning of the non-current asset, is recognised as an expense to reduce the carrying amount of assets over their estimated useful lives, on a straight-line basis over the following period: | 9 |
• Technical installations : 3 years/ 10 years
• Other non-current assets :
• IT and office equipments 3 years/ 10 years
Depreciation or amortisation expense for non-current assets is recognised within the income statement as "Depreciation and amortisation".
3.7. Leases
IFRS 16 "Leases" has been mandatory since January 1, 2019. The main effects of the implementation of IFRS 16 compared to the principles previously applied under IAS 17 (former standard) relate to the recognition of leases where the Company acts as lessee.
IFRS 16 defines a lease as a contract that gives the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset.
All leases are recognised on the statement of financial position in the recognition of an asset in respect of the right of use of the leased assets with a corresponding liability.
As of the balance sheet date, there were no contracts of this nature.
3.8. Impairment of non-financial assets
When events or changes to the market environment or internal factors indicate there is a risk of an asset losing value, principally relating to property, plant and equipment or intangible assets, they undergo an impairment test. In the case of non-amortised intangible assets, the impairment tests are performed annually. The Company does not hold any indefinite-lived assets that would require an impairment test. Furthermore, no indication of impairment has been identified that would justify testing other finite-lived assets.
3.9. Financial assets and liabilities
IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", whose application is mandatory as of January 1, 2018, includes the following three main components:
- classification and evaluation of financial assets and liabilities : the standard requires financial assets to be classified according to their type, the characteristics of their contractual cash flows and the business model followed in managing them;
- impairment of financial assets: IFRS 9 determines the principles and methodology to apply to evaluate and account for the credit losses expected on the financial assets, the commitments on loans and the financial guarantees;
- hedge accounting: the new text aims for better alignment between hedge accounting and risk management by establishing an approach that is founded more upon the principles of risk management.
Application of IFRS 9 provisions has no significant impact on the financial statements as at December 31, 2024. As the Group does not have a hedging instrument, it was not impacted by the last part of the standard. The second part of the standard, relating to impairment, also did not have an impact on the Group's financial statements.
| The available-for-sale assets were themselves reclassified in "Assets at fair value through profit or loss". | 10 |
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
These represent the assets held-for-trading that are assets destined for short-term uses. They are valued at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
These represent the liabilities held for transaction purposes that are liabilities that are destined for short-term uses. They are valued at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in the income statement.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost less any necessary impairment charge.
Financial liabilities and trade payables
Financial liabilities and trade payables are measured at amortised cost. Interest is calculated using the effective interest rate and is recognised as financial expense in the income statement.
3.10. Trade and other receivables
A provision for depreciation is recognised when there are objective indicators which indicate that the amounts due cannot be recovered fully or partially. In particular, the process of assessing the recoverable amount of trade receivables due at the balance sheet date is subject to individual consideration and the necessary provisions are recognised if there is a risk of non-recovery. Their carrying amount corresponds to a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
3.11. Cash and cash equivalents
The item "Cash and cash equivalents" includes cash and readily available money market investments, subject to a negligible risk of change in fair value, which can be readily used to meet existing cash outflow requirements. Monetary investments are valued at their market value at the reporting date. Changes in value are recorded in "Other financial income" or"Other financial expenses".
3.12. Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity instruments.
3.13. Personnel benefits
Retirement benefit plans
The Group applies the relevant legal obligations or provides customary supplementary pension schemes or other long-term benefits to employees. The Group offers these benefits through defined contribution plans.
Contributions relating to defined contribution plans are expensed as and when they become due for services rendered by employees.
Severance pay is governed by the collective bargaining agreement applicable within the Group and concerns retirement benefits or end-of-career payments made in the event of the voluntary departure or retirement of employees. Severance pay is part of the defined-benefit plans.
Commitments arising from defined-benefit plans and their costs are determined using the projected unit actuarial valuation method. Valuations are carried out annually. Actuarial calculations are provided by external consultants.
| These plans are funded, and the residual obligation may be recognised as a pension asset in the statement of financial position. | 11 |
The main plan concerns end-of-career payments (retirement benefits). The change in the liability and the plan assets includes:
- the cost of the services rendered and the amortisation of the cost of past services recognised as operating expenses;
- the reduced financial cost of the return on plan assets, recognised as financial income; and
- actuarial differences directly recognised in "Other items of comprehensive income".
The actuarial differences come from changes in the assumptions and from the difference between the estimations according to the actuarial assumptions and the actual results of the revaluations.
3.14. Other provisions
A provision is recognised when, at the end of the period, the Group has a present obligation (legal or implied) arising from past events and it is probable that an outflow of future economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Litigation is provided for when an obligation of the Group to a third party exists at the balance sheet date. The measurement of provision is based on the best estimate of projected expenditure.
Contingent liabilities represent potential obligations arising from past events whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence of uncertain future events which are not under the control of the entity or existing obligations where an outflow of resources is not probable. With the exception of those recognised as a result of a business combination, contingent liabilities are not recognised in the accounts but are described in a note to the financial statements.
3.15. Income tax
"Income tax" includes current tax for the financial year and deferred tax.
Deferred tax is recognised, using the liability method, for temporary differences existing at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts ; and tax losses.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for tax losses and unused tax credits when it is probable that the Group will have future taxable profits against which these tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been adopted or substantively adopted at the reporting date.
Deferred taxes are recognised as income or expense in the income statement except where it relates to a transaction or event that is recognised directly in equity. Deferred tax is presented in specific items on the statement of financial position included in non-current assets and liabilities.
3.16. Segment information
The Company operates in a single business sector: the development of neural interface and artificial intelligence technologies that enable contactless and voice-free control in consumer electronic devices.
3.17. Others items of comprehensive income
Income and expenses in the period which are not recognised in the income statement are presented as "Other items of comprehensive income" in comprehensive income.
3.18. Earnings per share
| 12 | |
| Earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of parent company shares outstanding after restatement for treasury shares.Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding after restatement for treasury shares, taking into account the maximum number of shares that could be outstanding given the probability of current or future dilutive instruments being converted. |
The weighted average number of shares is the average of shares outstanding (excluding treasury shares) at the end of each month.
To date, the Company has not issued any dilutive instruments.
Note 4. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
No significant events have occurred after the closing date.

Information relative to the fair value of financial instruments concerns only cash and short-term investments that are measured at fair value.

Note 15. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
15.1. Credit risk
Credit risk represents the risk of financial loss for the Company in the event that a client or a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum exposure to credit risk.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held with first-class banking and financial institutions. The Company considers that its cash and cash equivalents carry a very low credit risk in light of the external credit ratings of their counterparties.
Trade receivables and contract assets
The credit risk related to receivables from customers is considered to be managed.
15.2. Interest rate risk
The Company's interest rate risk is limited as its main borrowings are at fixed rates. The Company does not use any derivative financial instruments to hedge its interest rate risk.
15.3. Foreign exchange rate
Purchases and sales are carried out almost entirely in euros, which is the company's functional currency. In the event of a significant change in exchange rates, contracts concluded with international clients provide for an adjustment of the selling price to compensate for any potential discrepancy related to currency fluctuations. The company therefore considers itself not to be exposed to significant foreign exchange risk.
| 15.4. Liquidity risk | 17 |
Liquidity risk refers to the risk faced by the Company when it experiences difficulties in meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities that will be settled by transferring cash or other financial assets. The Company's objective in managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due, under normal or "stressed" conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or damaging the Company's reputation.
As of the date of this document, the cash position of the Company and its Subsidiary allows them to meet their commitments. The Company therefore considers itself not to be exposed to liquidity risk.

The valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on the way that the Group expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates expected to apply to the year in which the asset is realised or the liability settled.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only if it is probable that the Group will have future taxable profits against which the asset can be utilised.
Carryforward deficits are not recognized in the IFRS accounts. Their potentially recognized amounts are presented below:

Note 21. NOTE REGARDING THE TRANSITION TO IFRS STANDARDS
22.1. Reconciliation of equity from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024
A. Differences related to IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of IFRS Standards
IFRS 1 "First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards" deals with the procedures for the initial application of IFRS. This standard provides "first-time adopters" with a number of exemptions from the principle of retrospective application of IFRS.
Business Combinations
IFRS 1 provides the option not to restate business combinations prior to the transition date, which is January 1, 2023. The Company has chosen this option, and any business acquisitions made before this date have not been restated in the opening IFRS balance sheet.
| 21 |
Intangibles assets
IFRS 1 offers the option to measure property, plant and equipment and certain intangible assets at their fair value at the date of transition, with this fair value being considered their deemed cost. The Company has chosen not to use this option.
B. Employee benefits
In accounts prepared according to French standards, retirement commitments are not recorded and are disclosed as off-balance sheet commitments.
In accordance with IAS 19 "Employee Benefits," all commitments to employees must be recognized based on a discounted amount.
Commitments for retirement severance pay are subject to an actuarial calculation, which, after taking into account any dedicated funding assets, results in the recognition of a corresponding provision. The change in this liability is recorded as personnel expenses, as "Finance Costs," and as "Other Comprehensive Income" (for actuarial gains and losses).
If the value of the dedicated assets exceeds the amount of the actuarial liability, the difference is recognized as an asset on the balance sheet.
As a result of the above, net liabilities for retirement commitments are recognized (before tax effect) at:
- On January 1,2023 : 1 K€
- On December31, 2023 : 3 K€
- On December31, 2024 : 4 K€.
|
|
C. Financial assets
Under French standards, cash investments are recorded at their cost.
Under IFRS standards, they are recorded at their fair value, with a corresponding entry in financial income.
As of January 1, 2023, the company does not have any cash investments that would require revaluation at fair value.
D. Deferred taxes evaluation
In accounts prepared according to French standards, deferred taxes are not recognized. Under IFRS, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized in the case of a temporary difference between the tax base and the carrying amount of an asset or liability.
Balance sheet presentation
E. Current/Non-Current Distinction
The Company presents Assets and Liabilities in accordance with IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements,' distinguishing between 'current' and 'non-current' items. Reclassifications have been made, particularly regarding 'financial liabilities' and 'provisions for risks and charges.' Tax assets and liabilities are, by convention, presented as non-current items.
F. Deferred taxes presentation
In accordance with IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" (§70) and IAS 12 "Income Taxes", all deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current items and presented on a separate line in the balance sheet.
| 22 |
G. Regulated provisions
Under French standards, regulated provisions (exceptional depreciation and investment provisions) are recorded in equity at their gross amount.
Under IFRS, regulated provisions are treated as tax-related entries. They are neutralized, taking into account a tax effect.
Income statement presentation
A. Research tax credit
Expenditures incurred in research and development may give rise, under certain conditions, to a Research Tax Credit (CIR).
Under French accounting standards, the Research Tax Credit is treated as a tax income and recorded as a deduction from corporate income tax.
Under IFRS, the CIR is treated as a subsidy recorded as operating income.
B. Employee participation
Under French standards, the amounts owed to employees under a legal Profit-Sharing agreement are recorded under exceptional income.
Under IFRS standards, this expense is reclassified under Salaries, as operating expenses.
|
|
C. Charge Transfers and Capitalized Production
Under French standards, certain expenses can be reclassified in the income statement or on the balance sheet as assets through expense transfer accounts. The same applies to expenses that are capitalized, through the Capitalized Production account.
Under IFRS standards, the expense transfer accounts and capitalized production account result in the reversal of the related expenses.
D. Reversal of provision
Under French standards, reversals of provisions are recognized as income, the nature of which (operating, financial, or exceptional) depends on that of the original allocation.
Under IFRS, reversals of provisions are recognized as a credit to the corresponding expenses.
E. Presentation of exceptional items
In financial statements prepared in accordance with French standards, exceptional items are excluded from operating income and presented on a separate line in the income statement.
In accordance with IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, exceptional items cannot be presented separately. Consequently, exceptional expenses and income have been reclassified under other operating or financial income and expenses, as appropriate.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (the "pro forma financial information") combine the separate historical financial information of Naqi Logix Inc. ("Naqi") and Wisear Assets and Liabilities SAS ("Wisear") after giving effect to the share purchase agreement (as described in Note 2 below), and the pro forma effects of certain assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes.
The pro forma financial information gives effect to the acquisition of Wisear as if it had occurred on June 30, 2025 for balance sheet purposes, and on July 1, 2024 for statement of operations purposes. The pro forma statement of operations combines Naqi's results for the year ended June 30, 2025 with Wisear's results for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing the most recent annual period available for each entity. The six-month difference in fiscal year ends is not expected to have a material impact given the non-seasonal nature of both companies' operations, which are primarily focused on research and development activities.
The pro forma financial information should be read together with:
• The accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements;
• Naqi's separate audited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, included in Naqi's Annual Report on Form [1-K] for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2026;
• Wisear's separate audited historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, included herein.
In connection with the planned integration of Wisear, the Naqi anticipates that nonrecurring charges will be incurred. The timing, nature, and amount of these charges cannot be determined at this time and are not reflected in the pro forma financial information.

1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The pro forma financial information has been prepared using accounting policies consistent with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"), which the Naqi applies in its financial statements as a foreign private issuer.
The historical financial statements of Wisear for the year ended December 31, 2024 were audited by Akelys, an independent registered public accounting firm, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), as well as the professional standards applicable in France and the professional guidelines of the Compagnie Nationale des Commissaires aux Comptes (CNCC).
Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC requirements applicable to pro forma financial information. Management believes that the assumptions used and the resulting pro forma adjustments provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transaction and that the presentation is adequate to make the information not misleading.
2. Description of Transaction
On December 30, 2025, Naqi entered into a binding share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Wisear by way of a share exchange. The transaction closed in February 2, 2026 (the "Acquisition Date"). Wisear is an early-stage company that develops and licenses next-generation human-computer interface technology with a focus on ear-based neural sensing for human-machine interaction in audio and mobile environments. The acquisition aligns with the Naqi's long-term strategy of developing and commercializing non-invasive neural interface technology and expands its intellectual property portfolio and technical expertise in that field.
Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, the Naqi issued 4,053,654 common shares at a deemed value of $2.40 per share for total consideration of $9,728,772. The fair value of consideration was determined with reference to the latest financing for Naqi Common Shares. No cash consideration was transferred. The acquisition of Wisear is considered to be a business combination under IFRS 3 as Wisear has inputs and processes that are capable of producing outputs.

3. Preliminary Fair Value Estimate of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
The purchase price allocation is preliminary and has been prepared for purposes of this pro forma financial information. Fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets are provisional. The final allocation, to be completed within 12 months of the Acquisition Date, may differ materially from the amounts presented. Any adjustments will be applied retrospectively.
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition Date. Intangible assets of $11,850,092 include $7,032 recognized on Wisear's historical balance sheet and a fair value step-up of $11,843,060 recognized through purchase accounting (see Note 3A). Management has confirmed that the $7,032 non-current provision is a separate liability of Wisear and is unrelated to the pre-existing intangible asset balance.
| Fair Value ($) | |||
| Assets acquired | |||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 126,576 | ||
| Current tax receivables | 25,784 | ||
| Other current assets | 64,460 | ||

A. Identifiable Intangible Assets
In connection with the acquisition of Wisear, the Company recognized identifiable intangible assets across the following categories: patents and patent applications, developed technology, in-process research and development, and proprietary know-how and trade secrets. The total intangible asset balance of $11,850,092 reflects $11,843,060 fair value step-up over Wisear's historical carrying amount of $7,032, consistent with the technology-intensive nature of Wisear's business and the centrality of its intellectual property to the negotiated acquisition price.
Wisear holds 4 granted patents across 2 patent families and additional patent applications relating to non-invasive brain-computer interface wearable technology, including EEG signal processing and neural interface design. The acquired engineering team of 8 employees, including the co-founding researchers, holds specialized expertise in these areas, representing approximately 7 years of accumulated research and development activity. Wisear is pre-revenue at the Acquisition Date.
As the acquisition was completed recently, a formal valuation of the acquired identifiable intangible assets has not been performed. The Company is therefore unable to determine a reliable allocation between identifiable intangible assets and goodwill at this time, and these amounts have been presented on a combined basis in the pro forma balance sheet. Any adjustments to the provisional allocation will be applied retrospectively.
4. Reclassification Adjustments
The pro forma financial statements have been adjusted to reflect reclassifications of Wisear's historical financial statements to conform to the Naqi's financial statement presentation. Wisear's financial statements are denominated in euros and have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with IAS 21, with assets and liabilities translated at the closing exchange rate as of June 30, 2025 of EURUSD 1.0880, and income statement amounts translated using the average exchange rate for the year then ended of EURUSD 1.1720.
Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2025
• Reclassification of Cash and Cash equivalents of $126,576 to Cash;
• Reclassification of Other current assets of $64,460 to Other receivables;
• Reclassification of Trade Payables of $30,472 and Other current liabilities of $207,444 to Accounts payable and accrued liabilities;
Pro Forma Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended June 30, 2025
• Reclassification of Cost of Sales of $13,056 and Tax and duties of $8,704 to Office and other;
• Reclassification of Personnel expenses of $839,936 to Research and development expenses;
• Reclassification of Depreciation and provisions of $11,968 to Amortization.
Wisear's External expenses have been reclassified across multiple line items based on a detailed review of the underlying transactions within Wisear's condensed financial statements:
• Reclassification of External expenses of $303,552 to Consulting fees and salaries;
|
|
• Reclassification of External expenses of $5,440 to Interest and bank charges;
• Reclassification of External expenses of $125,120 to Office and other. External expenses of $239,360 to Professional fees;
5. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss
Explanations of the adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss are as follows:
A. Represents the elimination of a convertible note receivable advanced to Wisear prior to the Acquisition Date, together with the corresponding note payable. As the convertible note was remeasured to fair value immediately prior to closing, a fair value gain of $9,900 was recognized in the Naqi's historical results. This gain has been eliminated as part of this adjustment as it is directly attributable to the transaction and is non-recurring in nature.
B. Represents the estimated fair value of acquired identifiable intangible assets that were previously not carried at fair value. (See Note 3A.)
C. Represents the elimination of Wisear's historical equity and the establishment of the preliminary acquisition consideration. (See Note 2.)
D. Represents the elimination of intercompany revenue and corresponding expenses arising from a licensing agreement between the Naqi and Wisear prior to the Acquisition Date, as these transactions do not reflect activity of the combined entity.
E. Represents the elimination of non-recurring acquisition-related transaction costs incurred in connection with the Wisear acquisition, as these costs are directly attributable to the transaction and will not have a continuing impact on the combined entity.
6. Acquisition Date and Post-Acquisition Results
The acquisition of Wisear closed on February 2, 2026, subsequent to the balance sheet date of June 30, 2025. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are not reflected in the Naqi's historical consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2025, and no post-acquisition revenue or earnings of Wisear are included in the Naqi's historical consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2025.
The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the acquisition been completed on those dates, or of results that may be achieved in the future.
7. Status of Acquisition
On December 30, 2025, the Company entered into a binding share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of Wisear Assets and Liabilities ("Wisear") shares via a share exchange. Wisear is early-stage company that develops and licenses next-generation human computer interface technology. The business rationale for the Wisear acquisition was to acquire its intellectual property, inclusive of its patent portfolio, as well as its technology development expertise and workforce. The acquisition closed in February 2026.
|
|
8. Pro Forma Earnings Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of unaudited pro forma basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended June 30, 2025:
| Year Ended June 30, 2025 | |
| Pro forma net loss attributable to common shareholders ($) | (8,421,516) |
| Pro forma weighted average shares outstanding -- basic and diluted | 52,157,303 |
| Pro forma net loss per share -- basic and diluted ($) | (0.16) |
Pro forma weighted average shares outstanding reflects the Naqi's historical weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended June 30, 2025, adjusted to include the 4,053,654 common shares issued as consideration for the acquisition of Wisear as if those shares had been outstanding from July 1, 2024.
All potentially dilutive securities, including stock options and warrants, have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive given the pro forma net loss position.

(b) the Shareholder shall not be liable for the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any other Person in connection with the Proposed Sale, other than the Company (except that and only to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any Shareholder of any representations, warranties and covenants provided by all Shareholders with respect to the Company);
(c) the liability for indemnification, if any, of such Shareholder in the Proposed Sale and for the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Company or its Shareholders in connection with such Proposed Sale is several and not joint with any other Person (except that and only to the extent that funds may be paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as well as breach by any Shareholder of any representations, warranties and covenants provided by all Shareholders with respect to the Company), and subject to the provisions of the Articles related to the allocation of the escrow, is pro rata in proportion to, and does not exceed, the amount of consideration paid to such Shareholder in connection with such Proposed Sale;
(d) liability shall be limited to such Shareholder's applicable share (determined based on the respective proceeds payable to each Shareholder in connection with such Proposed Sale in accordance with the provisions of the Articles) of a negotiated aggregate indemnification amount that applies equally to all Shareholders but that in no event exceeds the amount of consideration otherwise payable to such Shareholder in connection with such Proposed Sale, except with respect to claims related to fraud by such Shareholder, the liability for which need not be limited as to such Shareholder;
(e) upon the consummation of the Proposed Sale, (i) each holder of each class or series of Shares will receive the same form of consideration for their Shares of such class or series as is received by other holders in respect of their Shares of such same class or series, (ii) each holder of Common Shares will receive the same amount of consideration per Common Share as is received by other holders in respect of their Common Shares, and (iii) the aggregate consideration receivable by all Shareholders shall be allocated among the Shareholders on the basis of the relative liquidation preferences to which the Shareholders are entitled in a Deemed Liquidation Event (assuming for this purpose that the Proposed Sale is a Deemed Liquidation Event) in accordance with the Articles in effect immediately prior to the Proposed Sale; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the consideration to be paid in exchange for any Shareholder's Shares pursuant to this Section 3.3(e) includes any securities and due receipt thereof by any Shareholder would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (ii) the provision to any Shareholder of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to Accredited Investors, the Company may cause to be paid to any such Shareholder in lieu thereof, against surrender of such Shareholders' Shares, which would have otherwise been sold by such Shareholder, an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board) of the securities which such Shareholder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for such Shareholder's Shares; and
(f) subject to Section 3.3(e), if any holders of any class or series of Shares are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received as a result of the Proposed Sale, all holders of such class or series of Shares will be given the same option; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.3(f) shall entitle any holder to receive any form of consideration that such holder would be ineligible to receive as a result of such holder's failure to satisfy any condition, requirement or limitation that is generally applicable to the Shareholders.
3.4 Restrictions on Sales of Control of the Company. No Shareholder shall be a party to any Share Sale unless all Shareholders are allowed to participate in such transaction and the consideration received pursuant to such transaction is allocated among the parties thereto in the manner specified in the Articles in effect immediately prior to the Share Sale (as if such transaction were a Deemed Liquidation Event).

Each Shareholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies or powers of attorney with respect to such Shareholder's Shares that conflict with the proxy and power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 4.2 and shall not hereafter, unless and until this Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to Section 5, purport to grant any other proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of such Shareholder's Shares, deposit any of such Shareholder's Shares into a voting trust or enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement), arrangement or understanding with any Person, directly or indirectly, to vote, grant any proxy or give instructions with respect to the voting of any of such Shareholder's Shares, in each case, with respect to any of the matters set forth herein.

(b) All Subscriptions are irrevocable, and except as otherwise provided in the Investor's Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement"), no such Investor will have any right to cancel or rescind its Subscription, except as required under the law of any jurisdiction in which the Offering is made. In the event of conflicting claims to any Escrow Funds, Escrow Agent may elect to interplead the monies in accordance with Section 3.6 of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 2 -DISBURSEMENT PROCEDURES
2.1 Disbursement of Proceeds. Escrow Agent shall hold and disburse the Escrow Funds in accordance with the following procedures:
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(b) through Section 2.1(f), in the event Escrow Agent receives Collected Funds for the Minimum Offering prior to the termination of this Agreement, and for any point thereafter, and from time to time, promptly after the Escrow Agent's receipt of written instructions from the Company in the form of Exhibit "A" attached hereto, the Escrow Agent shall disburse by wire transfer the principal amount of all Escrow Funds then held by Escrow Agent, or such lesser amount as may be specified in such written instructions (but not less than the amount covered by Minimum Offering for the Initial Closing Date (as defined below)), in accordance with such written instructions. We refer to the date of the initial disbursement of proceeds under this Section 2.1(a) as the "Initial Closing Date". Escrow Funds shall be distributed within one (1) business day of the Escrow Agent's receipt of such written instructions, which must be received by the Escrow Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. Central Standard time on a business day for the Escrow Agent to process such instructions that business day.
(b) Escrow Agent shall continue to accept deposits of additional Payments until a date (the "Final Closing Date") which is the earlier of (i) the date on which the Escrow Agent receives written notification, signed by an Authorized Representative of the Company, that the Company has accepted Subscriptions for the Maximum Offering, or (ii) the date on which the Escrow Agent receives written notification, signed by an Authorized Representative of the Company, of the Company's determination of a final closing date for receipt of Escrow Funds. Promptly from and after the Final Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall return directly to the Investor, the principal amount of any Escrow Funds received by the Escrow Agent after the Final Closing Date and shall cease to accept any additional Escrow Funds.
(c) If the Company gives written notice to the Escrow Agent of the termination or withdrawal of the Offering, in the form of Exhibit "B" attached hereto, then promptly after such notification, the Escrow Agent shall return, as a complete distribution, each Investor's Escrow Funds, without deduction, penalty, or expense to Investor to such Investor in the same method as the Investor caused payment pursuant to Section 1.3(a); provided, however, that to the extent an Investor's Escrow Funds were received by Escrow Agent from a qualified intermediary, such funds shall be returned to such qualified intermediary. In the event of the termination of the Offering pursuant to this Section 2.1(c), the Escrow Funds shall not under any circumstance be returned to the Company. The Company represents, warrants, and agrees that the Escrow Funds returned to each Investor (or to such Investor's qualified intermediary) are and shall be free and clear of any and all claims of the Company and its creditors.
(d) If an Investor is entitled to terminate its Subscription, or the Company rejects such Subscription, for which the Escrow Agent has received Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agent shall, upon a written instruction signed by an Authorized Representative of the Company, promptly return directly to such Investor that portion of the Escrow Funds associated with of such Investor and specified in the written instruction. If the Escrow Agent has not yet collected funds but has submitted the Investor's check for collection, the Escrow Agent shall promptly return the funds in the amount of the Investor's payment to such Investor after such funds have been collected.
(e) If any date that is a deadline under this Agreement for giving the Escrow Agent notice or instructions or for the Escrow Agent to take action is not a business day, then such date shall be the business day that immediately precedes such date. A "business day" is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which banking institutions located in the state of Missouri, are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
ARTICLE 3 - GENERAL ESCROW PROCEDURES
3.1 Accounts and Records. Escrow Agent shall keep accurate books and records of all transactions hereunder. The Company and Escrow Agent shall each have reasonable access to one another's books and records concerning the Offering and the Escrow Account. Upon final disbursement of the Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company a complete accounting of all transactions relating to the Escrow Account.
3.2 Duties. Escrow Agent's duties and obligations hereunder shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. Escrow Agent's duties and obligations are purely ministerial in nature, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give rise to any fiduciary obligations of the Escrow Agent with respect to the Investors or to the other parties to this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Escrow Agent is not charged with any duties or responsibilities with respect to any documentation associated with the Offering and shall not otherwise be concerned with the terms thereof. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to notify or obtain the consent, approval, authorization, or order of court or governmental body to perform its obligations under this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein. The parties agree that Escrow Agent shall not be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder.
3.3 Liability Limited. Escrow Agent shall not be liable to anyone whatsoever by any reason of error of judgment or for any act done or step taken or omitted by them in good faith or for any mistake of fact or law or for anything which they may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith unless caused by or arising out of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for any indirect, special, consequential damages, or punitive damages. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility to ensure anyone's compliance with any securities laws in connection with the Offering, and Escrow Agent shall not be required to inquire as to the performance or observation of any obligation, term or condition under any other agreements or arrangements.
3.4 Fees. The Company shall pay the Escrow Agent the fees based on the fee schedules attached hereto as Exhibits "C" and "D". In addition, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the Escrow Agent for all fees, costs and expenses incurred or that become due in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Account, including reasonable attorneys' fees. Neither the modification, cancellation, termination or rescission of this Agreement nor the resignation or termination of the Escrow Agent shall affect the right of the Escrow Agent to retain the amount of any fee which has been paid, or to be reimbursed or paid any amount which has been incurred or becomes due, prior to the effective date of any such modification, cancellation, termination, resignation or rescission. Escrow Agent is hereby authorized by the Company to deduct any fees not timely paid, and any unpaid fees before final distribution of the Escrow Fund, from the Escrow Fund. To the extent the Escrow Agent has incurred any such expenses, or any such fee becomes due, prior to any closing, the Escrow Agent shall advise the Company and the Company shall direct all such amounts to be paid directly at any such closing.
3.5 Exculpation. Escrow Agent's duties hereunder shall be strictly limited to the safekeeping of monies, instruments or other documents received by the Escrow Agent and any further responsibilities expressly provided in this Agreement. The Escrow Agent will not be liable for:
(a) the genuineness, sufficiency, correctness as to form, manner or execution or validity of any instrument deposited in the Escrow, nor the identity, authority or rights of any person executing the same;
(b) any misrepresentation or omission in any documentation associated with the Offering or any failure to keep or comply with any of the provisions of any agreement, contract, or other instrument referred to therein; or
(c) the failure of the Investor to transmit, or any delay in transmitting, any Investor's Total Purchase Price to the Escrow Agent.
3.6 Interpleader. If (i) conflicting demands are made or notice served upon the Escrow Agent with respect to the escrow or (ii) the Escrow Agent is otherwise uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder, then the Escrow Agent shall have the absolute right at its election to do either or both of the following:
(a) withhold and stop all further proceedings in, and performance of, this Agreement; or
(b) file a suit in interpleader and obtain an order from the court requiring the parties to litigate their several claims and rights among themselves. In the event such interpleader suit is brought, the Escrow Agent shall be fully released from any obligation to perform any further duties imposed upon it hereunder, and the Company shall pay the Escrow Agent actual costs, expenses and reasonable attorney's fees expended or incurred by Escrow Agent, the amount thereof to be fixed and a judgment thereof to be rendered by the court in such suit.
3.7 Indemnification and Contribution. The Company (each, an "Indemnifying Party") jointly and severally agree to defend, indemnify and hold Escrow Agent and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents ("Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against all costs, damages, judgments, attorneys' fees, expenses, obligations and liabilities of any kind or nature ("Damages") to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any Damages or liabilities related to or arising out of this Agreement which the Indemnified Parties may reasonably incur or sustain in connection with or arising out of the escrow or this Agreement and will reimburse the Indemnified Parties for all expenses (including attorneys' fees) as they are incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation in which the Indemnified Parties is or are a party; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for Damages or expenses which are finally judicially determined to have resulted from an Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and any resignation of the Escrow Agent.
3.8 Compliance with Orders. If at any time Escrow Agent is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process which in any way affects the Escrow Funds (including but not limited to orders of attachment or any other forms of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of the Escrow Funds), Escrow Agent is authorized to comply therewith in any manner as it or its legal counsel of its own choosing deems appropriate; and if Escrow Agent complies with any such judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process, Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.
3.9 Resignation.
(a) Escrow Agent may resign as escrow holder hereunder upon fourteen (14) days prior written notice to the Company and shall thereupon be fully released from any obligation to perform any further duties imposed upon it hereunder. Company shall promptly appoint a successor escrow agent. The Escrow Agent will transfer all files and records relating to the Escrow and Escrow Account to any successor escrow holder mutually agreed to in writing by Company upon receipt of a copy of the executed escrow instructions designating such successor. If Company fails to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of fourteen (14) calendar days following the delivery of such notice of resignation from Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon the Company. Company shall be jointly and severally liable for Escrow Agent's costs and expenses including attorneys incurred in such proceeding.
(b) In the case of a resignation of the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the appointment of a successor escrow agent hereunder. The successor escrow agent appointed by Company shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Escrow Agent and the other parties an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder. Thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall deliver all of the then-remaining balance of the Escrow Funds, less any expenses then incurred by and unpaid to the Escrow Agent, to such successor escrow agent in accordance with the joint written direction of Company and upon receipt of the Escrow Funds, the successor escrow agent shall be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement.
3.10 Filings and Resolution. Concurrently or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a copy of its certificate of formation or other charter documents.
3.11 Authorized Representatives. The Company hereby identifies to Escrow Agent the officers, employees or agents designated on Schedule I attached hereto as an authorized representative (each, an "Authorized Representative") with respect to any notice, certificate, instrument, demand, request, direction, instruction, waiver, receipt, consent or other document or communication required or permitted to be furnished to Escrow Agent. Schedule I may be amended and updated by written notice to Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on such original or amended Schedule I with respect to any party until a new Schedule I is furnished by such party to Escrow Agent.
3.12 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date first above written and shall end on the date that all funds in the Escrow Account are disbursed pursuant to this Agreement and all reporting obligations specified herein have been satisfied.
3.13 Identification Number. The Company represents and warrants that (a) its Federal tax identification number ("TIN") specified on the signature page of this Agreement underneath its signature is correct and is to be used for 1099 tax reporting purposes, and (b) it is not subject to backup withholding. The Company shall provide the Escrow Agent with the TIN and verification that the person or entity is not subject to backup withholding for any person or entity to whom interest is paid on any of the Proceeds, if applicable. Such verification may be evidenced by providing the Escrow Agent a Subscription Agreement containing appropriate language or a copy of a W-9.
3.14 Reliance. When Escrow Agent acts on any communication (including, but not limited to, communication with respect to the transfer of funds) sent by electronic transmission, Escrow Agent, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not be responsible or liable in the event such communication is not an authorized or authentic communication of the party involved or is not in the form the party involved sent or intended to send (whether due to fraud, distortion or otherwise). Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from Escrow Agent's reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic transmission to submit instructions and directions to Escrow Agent, including without limitation the risk of Escrow Agent acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.
3.15 Force Majeure. Escrow Agent shall not incur liability for not performing any act or not fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of Escrow Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, pandemic or public health emergency, any act of God or war, terrorism or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank or other wire or communication facility).
ARTICLE 4 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
4.1 Notice. Any notice, request, demand or other communication provided for hereunder to be given shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by transmission by a telecommunications device (including email), and shall be effective (a) on the day when personally served, including delivery by overnight mail and courier service, (b) on the third business day after its deposit in the United States mail, and (c) on the business day of confirmed transmission by telecommunications device (including email). The addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change thereof is served as provided in this Section 4.1) shall be as follows:

To the Company: Naqi Logix, Inc 1000-335 Burrard Street Vancouver, British Columbia Attn: Mark Godsy 604-803-4940 magodsy@shaw.ca |
4.2 Amendments. Except as otherwise permitted herein, this Agreement may be modified only by a written amendment signed by the parties hereto, and no waiver of any provision hereof will be effective unless expressed in a writing signed by the parties hereto.
4.3 Wiring Instructions. In the event fund transfer instructions are given, such instructions must be communicated to Escrow Agent in writing delivered pursuant to Section 4.1. Escrow Agent shall seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to an Authorized Representative (in the case of the Company) or other authorized person, and Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be the Authorized Representative or other authorized person so designated. Escrow Agent and the beneficiary's bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by the Company to identify (i) the beneficiary, (ii) the beneficiary's bank, or (iii) an intermediary bank. Escrow Agent may apply any of the Escrow Funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary's bank or an intermediary bank designated. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that such security procedure is commercially reasonable.
4.4 Notifications
(a) . The Escrow Agent may, but need not, honor and follow instructions, amendments or other orders ("orders") which shall be provided by telephone facsimile transmission ("faxed") to the Escrow Agent in connection with this Agreement and may act thereon without further inquiry and regardless of whom or by what means the actual or purported signature of the Company may have been affixed thereto if such signature in Escrow Agent's sole judgment resembles the signature of the Company. The Company indemnifies and holds the Escrow Agent free and harmless from any and all liability, suits, claims or causes of action which may arise from loss or claim of loss resulting from any forged, improper, wrongful or unauthorized faxed order. The Company shall pay all actual attorney fees and costs reasonably incurred by the Escrow Agent (or allocable to its in-house counsel), in connection with said claim(s).
(b) Furthermore, all parties hereby agree that all current and future notices, confirmations and other communications regarding this Agreement specifically, and future communications in general between the parties, may be made by email, sent to the email address of record as set forth above or, solely with regards to business in the normal course, as otherwise from time to time changed or updated, directly by the party changing such information, without necessity of confirmation of receipt, delivery or reading, and such form of electronic communication is sufficient for all matters regarding the relationship between the parties. If any such electronically-sent communication fails to be received for any reason, including but not limited to such communications being diverted to the recipients' spam filters by the recipients email service provider or technology, or due to a recipients' change of address, or due to technology issues by the recipients' service provider, the parties agree that the burden of such failure to receive is on the recipient and not the sender, and that the sender is under no obligation to resend communications via any other means, including but not limited to postal service or overnight courier, and that such communications shall for all purposes, including legal and regulatory, be deemed to have been delivered and received.
4.5 Assignment. Except as permitted in this Section 4.5, neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any party hereto without the express written consent of each of the other parties hereto. This Agreement shall inure to and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns. Any corporation into which Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Escrow Agent will be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the business of Escrow Agent will be the successor of Escrow Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
4.6 USA PATRIOT Act. The Company shall provide to Escrow Agent such information as Escrow Agent may reasonably require to permit Escrow Agent to comply with its obligations under the federal USA PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001). Escrow Agent shall not make any payment of all or a portion of the Escrow Fund, to any person unless and until such person has provided to Escrow Agent such documents as Escrow Agent may require to permit Escrow Agent to comply with its obligations under such Act. Further, Company represents and warrants to Escrow Agent that it is not a hedge fund. If Company is a hedge fund that is not sponsored by a registered investment advisor, the Company agrees to enter into the form of Due Diligence Agreement provided by Escrow Agent.
4.7 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate when all the Escrow Funds have been disbursed or returned in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
4.8 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of these and all additional or changed instructions.
4.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which so executed shall, irrespective of the date of its execution and delivery, be deemed an original, and said counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
4.10 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and shall be construed according to, the laws of the State of Missouri. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of St. Louis County, Missouri or, if proper subject matter jurisdiction exists, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each party hereto further irrevocably consents to the service of any complaint, summons, notice or other process relating to any such action or proceeding by delivery thereof to it by hand or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, in the manner provided for herein. Each party hereto hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any claim or defense in any such action or proceeding based on improper venue or forum non conveniens or any similar basis.
4.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY, INTENTIONALLY, AND DELIBERATELY WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER, RELATED TO, BASED ON OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE (EACH, A "CLAIM"). ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 4.11 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. In the event that the waiver of jury trial set forth in the previous sentence is not enforceable under the law applicable to this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement agree that any Claim, including any question of law or fact relating thereto, shall, at the written request of any party, be determined by judicial reference pursuant to Missouri law. The parties shall select a single neutral referee, who shall be a retired state or federal judge. In the event that the parties cannot agree upon a referee, the court shall appoint the referee. The referee shall report a statement of decision to the court. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral or obtain provisional remedies. The parties shall bear the fees and expenses of the referee equally, unless the referee orders otherwise. The referee shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph. The parties acknowledge that if a referee is selected to determine the Claims, then the Claims will not be decided by a jury.
4.12 Use of Name. The Company will not make any reference to Enterprise Bank & Trust in connection with the Offering except with respect to its role as Escrow Agent hereunder, and in no event will the Company state or imply the Escrow Agent has investigated or endorsed the Offering in any manner whatsoever.

March 31, 2026 Naqi Logix Inc. Re: Naqi Logix Inc. We have acted as Canadian counsel to Naqi Logix Inc. (the "Corporation"), a corporation governed by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), in connection with the offering circular on Form 1-A filed by the Corporation on February 26, 2025, as amended (the "Offering Statement"), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for the offering and sale by the Corporation of up to 6,896,551 voting common shares in the capital of the Corporation (the "Securities"). We have examined the Offering Statement and all such corporate and public records, statutes and regulations and have made such investigations and have reviewed such other documents as we have deemed relevant and necessary and have considered such questions of law as we have considered relevant and necessary in order to give the opinion hereinafter set forth. As to various questions of fact material to such opinion which were not independently established, we have relied upon a certificate of an officer of the Corporation. We are qualified to practice law in the Province of British Columbia and this opinion is rendered solely with respect to the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable in the Province of British Columbia. For the purposes of the opinions set forth below, we have assumed without independent investigation or verification by us that: (a) the Offering Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto (including post-effective amendments) will have been qualified by the order of the SEC and such qualification shall not have been terminated or rescinded; (b) the Securities will have the terms described in and will otherwise be issued as described in the Offering Statement; (c) all Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and in the manner specified in the Offering Statement; |

(d) there shall not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity of such Securities; and (e) neither the issuance and delivery of such Securities nor the compliance by the Corporation with the terms of such Securities will violate any applicable law or regulation or will result in a violation of any provision of any instrument or agreement then binding upon the Corporation, or any restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Corporation.
